Slack has said they do not want open source projects to use it.
It is the single most annoying thing about some projects - I get it, IRC doesn't show your emojis, but it just works.
- yoz-y 10y agoI remember an article about not using slack for FOSS projects, but it was not from Slack. Would you happen to have a link for your claim? I would be quite interested why they would not want to be used by somebody. That being said I do believe that Slack is a poor choice of medium for a free project, mainly because of the limited history and no publicly searchable transcripts.
- mugsie 10y agoAnd the fact that it costs them a fair amount of money to host large instances of slack. Can't seem to find the link, but you can see they will give discounts for non profits, up to 250 users. - https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/204368833 https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/204368833 Its a poor medium, as it locks projects into a walled garden ecosystem.
- thejosh 10y agoYeah, I wish they didn't either, but certain projects are mainly slack it seems. I hate it so much for this purpose. I guess I'm also apart of the problem. :P Come back to IRC, FOSS!
