<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>

<div dir="ltr">I suspected it may be related to Discord's heavy
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
in this regard.<br>
