Chime is for video. Slack is for text.
Chime is for both, it's just not very good at text.
But it's not really. It's primarily focused around text, and chime is around videos and meetings. That's the use case. Chime is built around meetings. Slack is built around chat.
Whatsapp: 500 million users for $18b. Slack: ~10 million users for $9b? This doesn't make much sense to me. What's the rationale behind this?

> Few organizations care. And those that do get left in the dust by organizations that don't. Are you saying that organizations that care to keep secrets get left behind by those that don't? That sounds kind of ridiculous.
We live in interesting times. Organizations that refuse to use Slack are at a disadvantage. When employees show up and realize there's no Slack, they start to analyze all other company decisions. How much effort could be saved just by using Slack? Those secrets had better be important to justify this loss. There are alternatives. Rocket Chat is self-hosted, and maybe it's sufficient. But second-place software will al…

Discord is the better app at this point. Even for business use. But Slack from an acquisition POV must be different. They have revenue, traction, and that all important paying subscriber base. It's like everyone has always said. Slack is just a chat app. It's not about the app, but rather, what they achieved with it. I love discord so much part of me wants Amazon to buy Slack just so it would kill it (or MS or Verizo…
Having not really used Discord, what about it is better to you?
My biggest problem is getting groups to move from slack to discord. People just use what they're used to and if their company already pays for one of the connections then they are going to be running it all of the time anyway.

Is it very different from running all your sensitive company code on Bezos & Co servers?
Do the AWS Master Service Agreements really not preclude Amazon from searching through your data for their own purposes?
If somebody can prove me wrong, however, that would be lovely :)
Regardless though, expecting Amazon to refrain from taking the proprietary information they have access to (in any form) and drilling you into the ground with their own twist on it seems like a bad bet, just ask Nucleus.
