    Their main competitor in the open-source, self-hosted space is Mattermost, which has a much more business-oriented solution, so there’s that as well.

      That seems more like a direct competitor to Slack and MS Team to me rather than general communication. Matrix is a facinating protocol that keeps pushing the limits of federated communication but it always sucked as replacment for those and unless someone invests huge amounts of money in a completely new client I don’t see taht changing any time soon tbh.
