How do you find them? I work remotely, and would love to join some good tech discussion groups every once in a while.

- djhworld 9y agoThis is what saddens me about these invite only Slack channels. Yes the owners are free to make them invite only, but also if they're not easily discovered how are people supposed to find them? At least with IRC or Discord or whatever you can browse channel lists, instead of trying to hammer Slack into a niche it's not even designed to fill.
- wyclif 9y agoYes, but as an ancient user of IRC I can tell you that the problem he's addressing is that anyone can join an IRC, and often they do. Have you ever joined a large tech-oriented channel? Low signal-to-noise ratio, with lots of noobish questions or off-topic chat.
