My research group still uses Slack, which is not only USAian, but also has a terrible free version and expensive subscription.

I am confident there is will to switch, but the inconvenience of learning a new platform prevents the team as a whole. What would be good alternatives that would make an easy transition period?

Maybe the Talk app in nextcloud would be enough? https://nextcloud.com/talk/

Isn't Mattermost basically open source Slack?

I’m not fully informed, but mattermost changed its license (still open source) and some aren’t recommending it anymore.
