There are public groups such as general announcement or issues, and private ones to talk directly to small groups or specific customers.Siva IlangoTech Guy · WrittenSlack makes communication easier other than any collaboration tool

And there is also Discord. Another Slack type chat. None seem as thorough as Discourse, which seems a bit more traditional.Sebastian StehleCTO · WrittenI think the big advantage of a traditional forum is that the knowledge does not get lost. With slack and discord you have to answer the same questions many times. If you take care about your forums you get a nice knowledge base.

The ability to create roles and make certain channels only visible to people with certain roles helps keep things private and ensures order. I have been using it for 2 years now and one of my best features is the Voice Chat.
