Fair point, thanks for sharing. Does that mean you consider fine the use of Zulip by open source development teams? Seeing as their main objective is providing organized chat between core contributors (with some level of outsider participation), that is, generally focused on facilitating the work of the project instead of building a community.

If that team currently has a strong email culture, yes. Zulip is basically a "what if chat was more like threaded email" UI experiment.

Teams that are more used to Slack or Discord will probably hate it though.
