... Such as?
I mean take your pick. Matrix is probably a good option...?
Or signal if you want a centralized system.
I mean it's not ideal but still better than email.
Signal is a non-profit that could go tits-up at any time and then suddenly we would have no more communication. Whereas Matrix is not dependent on the Matrix Foundation to function. It's just a protocol, much like email.
Yes, I agree that centralization isn't always a good idea.

@helenslunch
How this would translate to business applications - audit trails, documenting decisions etc - that's where I can't see a way out of email.
