    If you’re willing, I’d appreciate more information on this claim:

    Don’t waste your time with Zulip, it is just another corporate messenger.

    I tried looking it up myself, but I didn’t see anything that bad. Open source, self-hostable, Apache 2 licensed, didn’t see any CLA. About the Element thing, that sounds a bit far-fetched, but I’ll refrain from saying anything else since I haven’t had time to look into it. The Freenode story sounds interesting though, I’ll try looking it up later.

      The issue is the intended use case and not specific licensing and so on. Zulip targets internal chat in a corporate environment, like MS Teams and the like, which makes it ill suited as a Discord replacement.
