I'm part of a few slack communities and it seems an excellent platform for realtime discourse and noob baiting. Very sadly the #centos and #rhel freenode irc channels seem to be rather quiet these days and the irc protocol generally seems to be on the way out. IRC is a bit of a poor show when compared to modern platforms like Slack and Mattermost.
