Guess really we should be hearing from the other side. Can someone from the greatest community of all time come down from the slack cloud fortress and explain what makes it so great?

Can some low-ranking follower give a comment already? I know you need your main squeeze here and all, but come on.

Man, beehatch you're edgy. I never would have guessed a thread like this would happen.

I'm wanting informative opinion on the usage of slack. Not bias. Feel free to go post in the bothering thread.

smknjoe · « **Reply #15 on:** Sat, 09 April 2016, 18:52:57 »

I assume you are asking about using it as a personal App and not for business?

Who says it's great besides their Ads?

nickheller · « **Reply #21 on:** Sat, 09 April 2016, 19:06:06 »

I am here (on GH), in the #geekhack IRC channel, and on slack. I don't have a preference for any of them, I just like talking about keyboards

beehatch · « **Reply #22 on:** Sat, 09 April 2016, 19:12:21 »

I guess really, I should be asking why slack is a preferred method of circle jerking and **** talking?

Is geekhack not gr8 anymore?

fohat.digs · « **Reply #23 on:** Sat, 09 April 2016, 19:14:33 »

I'm sorry, I am an old man, even though I have teenage kids.

What is "Slack"?

mrbishop · « **Reply #24 on:** Sat, 09 April 2016, 19:17:14 »

i often forget its even there. i'm busy so i can't lurk on slack at all hours of the day to not miss something. or perhaps i dont know how to navagate it properly. but at any rate.

its just one more social media sort of thing i have to check. muddy waters for me. but to each their own. some like IRC better than forums. so what ever.

no salt here. i like forums for historical research and such too. just easier to search.

I don't see people making threads and complaining about off-topic being the preferred method of your 'I hate everything that doesn't speak to my interests or involve me and myself listen to me now' circle-jerk

Air tree · « **Reply #26 on:** Sat, 09 April 2016, 19:19:04 »

I like slack because of the off topic, it stores old messages, it's UI is purty, more features, etc...

I'm not involved with any drama, so that helps.

I like having side conversations without starting threads some times.

demik · « **Reply #27 on:** Sat, 09 April 2016, 19:20:17 »

byker · « **Reply #28 on:** Sat, 09 April 2016, 19:23:24 »

If you are legitmately looking for an answer, I think the answer is pretty simple. People like having real-time conversations, which is why skype is pretty popular among geekhackers as well.

The main benefits of slack for me are:
- that you don't have to pm people individually for their skype, because a lot of people are on it already.
- You can have private conversations as well as group conversations
- The website/application are much better then skype's, so I prefer having private convos with people over slack then through skype

Good points, air tree and bishop.

Makes sense.

I saw a commercial for Slack last night during my losing battle with crippling insomnia. Other than that I just choose to not think about it.
