Vector does address the same market as Slack, with similar feature set but also leveraging Matrix to bridge to other systems like Slack, and IRC, and others soon.

And yes Vector allows you to be part of several teams without switching between them.

Thanks for the reply! To clarify, you mean to say that a single user-account can be the exact same entity on multiple teams? And so point-to-point communication is not affected by team boundaries?

What about server boundaries? Can they be federated somehow? Sorry if you are trying to answer this with your point about Matrix; I'm not familiar with it.

Edit: ah! Arathorn answered my question about federation. This is super cool stuff!

Yes basically the concept of closed teams doesn't exist in Vector: you are a member of different chatrooms, public or private, with other people, each having its own focus, no matter what is the project scope or the topic.
