Ask HN: Are non-free Slack Communities worth the cost?
Hi HN !
I see a lot of Slack based communities annonced here. A lot of them aren't free.
Are they worth the cost ?
Could you share with us your exepriences ?
Thanks and have a good day !
- phantom_oracle 12y agoI've never seen this, but I think IRC would be the de-facto alternate to these "hip" communities. In the end, you will go where you can benefit most, so if paying $5 bucks a month gets you speaking to smarter people, folks will do it. I still think IRC is the place you go to for tech-talk (sadly everyone has ended up on Freenode though).

- phantom_oracle 12y agoAlthough it is my opinion on the situation, having all IRC centralized onto 1 "network" kind of reduces the redundancy that many different networks would bring by just existing.
