@thor yes. I joined a few and immediately regretted it. anything vaguely gaming or youtube related is a constant mess of arguments and pepe stickers. even machining / electronics stuff is just a mess of immature weirdos.
now I'm only in a few for events like Revision, NOVA, and my local hackspace. I'd prefer those to be on Slack but apparently Slack got really pushy with making you pay for everything.
@Natanael_L@thor yup, and also that it's really awful as a hosting platform for binary files, which is the primary thing forums like WSGF are using it for.
@Natanael_L@thor plus the core problem that if I have a transitive need for a single file or piece of information to solve an immediate problem, possibly the worst way to service that need is to subscribe to a persistent realtime communications feed about the general topic.
