IMO Facebook Workplace is vastly superior to Slack when you have a decent number of people around because:
a) posts and comments logically group discussion better than multiple interleaved discussions in a channel
b) the newsfeed does a decent job of surfacing interesting content (posts from groups/people you interact most with)
c) notifications in one place (with per-group options like “notify for every post” or “only when tagged” or whatever) beats clicking through each channel to scan everything that happened since you last looked. It puts the power to choose what to consume back in the hands of the recipient.
Sure, it’s not a real-time discussion platform but, IMO, most things at work don’t need this anyway. For the times this is useful (incident response, etc) small messenger groups work well.
YMMV, opinions mine, contents may settle in transit, etc
