Pumble.
* Fully released
* Free tier is quite limited
* Not OSS
* Not Self-hostable
* Not E2E
* Has calls (but paid)
* Very limited moderation at free tier
* Supported everywhere
Pumble sems to basically just be bringing the fight to slack, and honestly it seems to be doing a good job of it. Because of that though it's clearly not going to take a bite out of any sort of grass-roots community work.
Check it out if you're the rare person who doesn't like Slack but still wants to use Slack?

Zulip * Fully released * Free * Open Source * Self-hostable * No E2E * Uses external plugins for calls * Great moderation tools * Supported everywhere Zulip on paper sounds so close to being good! But dozens of weird UI choices forced me away. Zulip's UX is far more like a set of forums than a chat app. It's trying something new and I commend it for that, but I think it'll be a hard sell for many people.
