    <p>Slack's community moderation features are pretty terrible - it's
      simply not set up for managing public-facing communities; it's set
      up for managing private workplace team collaboration.  The best
      way to try to explain the features which are missing are to look
      at something like the Matrix moderation guide (<a
        href="https://matrix.org/docs/guides/moderation/">https://matrix.org/docs/guides/moderation/</a>);
      many of these features are missing in Slack.</p>

        emphasis on role-based permissions, but it would be good to get
        an official answer.  Slack definitely does have administrators,
        and Administrators can kick people out of the slack, which... 
        might be sufficient?  I don't know . From a usability
        standpoint, Discord is vastly inferior to Slack so I think it's
        worth doing this comparison</div>

            <p>My understanding is this is because Slack does not have
              good moderation tools. I'm unfamiliar with further details
