I 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.

And 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.
