a while ago on Slack vs Forums, linking to a blog post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/qpz8jz/you_should_use_forums_rather_than_slackdiscord_to/
https://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/3451
The blog post suggest forums are better because (filtering to the first two, the other points IMO are less important):
• Slack Free plan has limited history, so information is lossy
• Google can't index Slack chats
However, Reddit comments do highlight that Slack is free and easy and forums don't have an equivalent "free-and-easy" drop-in.
I wonder how much support could be lifted from the devs here if Google was able to index the answers y'all provide to questions 🤔
(Obviously there's no silver bullet, and Slack is great for a ton of things. Just food for thought. Maybe there's a slack Q&A bot with fancy AI stuff? Who knows)busy-vase-39202
