My two cents, I also found this more difficult than necessary. > competent users than I may have an easier time of it. Though I doubt it's that, I simply think Slack isn't designed with public chats in mind. An "invite" shouldn't be necessary, and a link to it shouldn't expire. I'd also oppose a suggestion to use Discord for the same reasons, which has unfortunately also been gaining traction in open source projects... Since this has been a very one-sided conversation so far, I wonder what the advantages of switching to Slack would be. Is this simply being suggested because we want a pretty chat client, or is there more to it? Some of the benefits would include better moderation capabilities, I believe, but I don't currently see a need for that. The suggestion to use Slack might be more welcome if current contributors aren't simply asked if they want to switch with no apparent benefits ;) Tristan Maat
