Anecdata, but I find Discord great if you're dealing with a big group of people that need to be moderated; it's got great tooling for that. There's multiple access levels, permissions, etc. exactly geared for that. When you're dealing with a trusted, invite-only group, you don't need many (if any) moderation features. Then, Slack shines for its ability to have organized, opt-in discussion. I really hate that you can't leave text channels on Discord. I've been trying to move friend groups more towards Slack and it's been a huge improvement over group texts / Facebook chat / etc. (of course, for our gaming group, discord voice chat is still superb. But, we only use it once a week and all the rest of our chatter/discussion happens in our new Slack team)
