I don’t care for the real-time communication aspect of it. In fact i find it unusable.
Am I supposed to just sit there and read random conversation and wait for a point to jump in?
Seems like it takes too much effort.
I mean, that is what IRC chat rooms were back in the day. Or any public chatroom from the 90s.
Realtime communication has its part. We use Slack at work all the time. But searching Slack is a horrible way of replacing missing documentation.
Especially when there's multiple subjects being discussed on the same channel
