I have experienced different types of communities using Slack in their own ways, and for some it works, but for a lot it doesn't. In my experience it works nicely for distributed organizations where people can't physically get together. My point is Slack does introduce more politics into workplace. This is something you as a single user can't control. Maybe you're doing fine there because your org doesn't have this problem, good for you. But I've seen this happen with a lot of different teams, in a lot of different ways, and that was what I was pointing out. If you work at a company where there's office politics, you WILL miss out and lose a lot of opportunities if you don't participate actively.
