I like Slack as a product.
I don't like how some open source and general interest communities use it for communication, as you have to go through this awkward sign up process that describes language like "welcome to the team!" and you have to set individual passwords for each team you join.
Slack seems to me like it's designed for businesses and teams to communicate, not as a public forum.
