How does your team deal with chat/chatops during SaaS chat outages?

Sometimes our favorite SaaS chat services go down. How does your team deal with this? Do you use a self-hosted IRC server? Something else? Especially interested in teams that are running Ops through chat.

We switch from slack to hangouts (it's a serious statement, it's our policy).

We had our own IRC servers for engineering. When we migrated our email to Gmail and servers went down, no one ever really got anything done.

I wish we only used a single system... Whatsapp and Skype at least. I tried to change to Discord, but no one ever really changes systems.
