[llvm-dev] Fwd: RFC: Moving toward Discord and Discourse for LLVM's discussions

[Matthew Hodgson via llvm-dev]

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 (https://matrix.org/docs/guides/moderation/); 
many of these features are missing in Slack.
