My team actually switched to using Discord (from Slack) for customer-facing communications. Other friends also had good experiences with gitter.im

[gigabo]

We recently moved from gitter.im.

@CreepGin - What drove you away from slack? How has discord been in comparison?

[CreepGin]

Oh no, we still use slack internally and like it very much. But for our non-developer customers, all of them preferred Discord over slack (just in the realm of online chatting) mostly due to:

• Straight-forward Invites
• Simpler UI
• Snappier native clients
• Good localization (we have a lot of international users)

But then again, I just realized that all your customers are developers =(

[gigabo]

all your customers are developers

Yeah, exactly. 😛

We use slack internally, too, and figured it would work well for React Server.

And it has been working great... until now.

[CreepGin]

Though I think even for developers, it should be fine since Discord does have Markdown and code highlighting support.

[alex88]

If you need an example, whole react community is there https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2015/10/19/reactiflux-is-moving-to-discord.html

[CreepGin]

Oh another big reason we switched was because Discord doesn't force users to sign up in order to join chat.

@alex88 Oh yes!

[gigabo]

Three cheers for Slack support! 🎉

@alex88 - I've sent you a manual invite to the email address in your PR commit message.

Thanks for the link to the facebook post, and the food for thought about discord. Didn't know it supported markdown and syntax highlighting.

Now that we're back on track with slack invitations I'm hesitant to consider another move, since we just got onto slack, but it's a relief to know there are good alternatives available.
