Is braid-chat really the alternative?
We could just use existing self-hosted chat servers like mattermost.
Doing so won't provide people with opportunities to create something in clojure and clojurescript, though.
If clojurians is closed in an immediate future, mattermost might be it.
braid-chat seemed like a work in progress.
Mattermost would be the best choice in the short-term, yes.
@crocket: Lets discuss this further on #C0CB40N8K.
