Small Social Groups Are Finally Finding a Home Online

  Does slack support peer-to-peer groups? In other words, groups that a company doesn't pay Slack to facilitate the group.

    I'm not sure what you mean but anyone can create a Slack "team" and while the free tier has limitations, number of members is not one of them. I'm on one with over 5,500 members and dozens of channels. If you wanted the non-free features, someone would have to pay Slack and arrange some way of collecting "dues" from each member. https://slack.com/pricing https://slack.com/pricing

  Small social groups have always found a home online. It was called Usenet, internet forums, IRC, mailing lists, etc. The only difference with Slack and other stuff is that the user interface is slightly shinier. Then again, this seems to be a common thing in the modern media. Taking something that's been around (or known) for a fairly long time, throwing in a few buzz words and pretending it's a brand new idea.
