I'm a little bit astonished and concerned how you make a connection
between opinions of valued community members and a company. I think this
is neither fair nor plays a role here.
If the community wants to give it a try, there is nothing wrong with it.
But I think for a slack channel to work you need a critical mass of
active people.

I’ve read thread [1] and have a few observations:
1. It happened on the Sling Dev email list. Sling Dev has too many daily
emails. The context and substance of most messages are difficult to understand
unless you’re already fully entrenched. I unsubscribed pretty quick. It is not
the best platform for all collaboration across the project community.
2. To summarize the respondents of thread [1] every non-Adobe responder in the
thread wanted Slack. Adobe already has a company chat platform. More
collaboration across organizational boundaries would be a good thing for the
project.
3. There was no vote. Why don’t we use the decision making process for Apache
Software Foundation projects [2]?
Let’s put it to a vote and let the Sling Users have a say. Respond with +1 if
you want a Slack Workspace for the Sling Community. Of course use of Slack is
optional, so there is no need to vote against. Don’t join unless you want to!

Hi Sling Users
Is there a community chat platform like Slack or gitter for Sling
users and developers?
Not at the moment. See also [1] where we had this discussion and
eventually abandoned the idea.
Thanks,
Robert
