Why Zulip?[edit]
Why do some Noisebridgers like Zulip? What does it offer?
Zulip is free software (as in speech & as in beer), gh:zulip/zulip. It could be called a chat-forum.
As a baseline, in appearance & account-organization scoping & control, it looks largely like Slack: web, desktop, mobile apps & per-organization server host names where an account must be registered with each organization, each domain, to use. Zulip does support filterable public Guest viewing without login.
It derives a lineage, not from IRC, but from Zephyr, at MIT, which is something like email (SMTP) or NNTP (network news transfer protocol), used in many configurations and roles from DMs to groups to annoucement threads and multi-threaded conversation.
Zulip inherits the widely acceptable versions of this, supporting channels (formerly 'streams') with new topic threads spun up on demand (and optionally disabled, a general chat topic).
