The new Slack data deletion policy (effective Jan 28th) was the final straw. I had workarounds to backup our lab Slack stuff, and we could have carried on, but I figured enough was enough. We've spun up a self-hosted Mattermost instance and have managed to import all our stuff from Slack (going back to 2017) into it. Anyway, a few tweaks to iron out, but wanted to mention in case anyone else is wondering what to do about Slack.
