Nice post from my boss about why we're giving Basecamp the heave-ho: https://blogs.library.duke.edu/blog/2023/11/30/why-were-dropping-basecamp/.
Full disclosure: I was one of the "colleagues" who brought this to their attention, so I feel pretty good about that. I was a big fan of 37Signals back in the day, until it turned out they were toxic.
@hcayless This is some first class librarian work. Thanks to you and colleagues/bosses for saying the words, and taking action.
A follow-up post with details re: your next choice would be great when it’s time 
@hcayless Well done, and solidarity to you and your colleagues from here in Ireland. 
@hcayless "The characterization of these events as “riots” followed as part of a deliberate disinformation campaign by right-wing groups, media’s distorting focus on isolated incidents, and biased framing by political campaigns. It plays on a longstanding and shameful tendency in the US of depicting any protest or demands for justice from Black members of our society as innately violent and threatening. "
@hcayless My congratulations to you on having a conscientious workplace. And my thanks to y'all for the choice; I had been getting a little depressed at what seemed like a lot of folks just choosing to turn a blind eye to noticing DHH's cruddyness this time around, as compared to after his earlier anti-DEI snit fit.

Is there a post somewhere or can you share what Basecamp is being replaced with?
@cwilcox808 In not sure it’s being replaced by one single thing. Some stuff was migrated to Teams.
@hcayless it was really good.
@hcayless I'm on a project looking for PM software and Basecamp is one contender. I'm interested in what you are thinking about transitioning to?
@ktoddbrown Most of the content from the various projects has been migrated to MS Teams. We already had site licenses for a bunch of Microsoft stuff, so that was an obvious choice. Longer term, we’ll see, if that proves not to be usable.
@hcayless The easiest way to make the world a better place is to not give money to people who will use that money to make the world a worse place. This is an excellent decision.
