I decided to make a thread for this so it gets a bit more traction.

I'm one of those weirdos that doesn't really do IRC, but I do love bieks, so I created a slack channel for people to chat in.

Slack is nice because it has great mobile apps, web apps, etc and they work well and history is saved so you can review all the great content you missed and it's all nice and modern and web2.0.ruby.startup.agile and whatnot.

Let me note, this is :siren:NOT MEANT TO REPLACE IRC:siren: they can both exist side by side, no one has to get huffy, I just prefer mobile apps, and my experience with mobile irc has been "warning: your connection will time out in one minute"

If you'd like to chat on slack, you can register for the official Layer Dan Slack chat here: https://afternoon-everglades-24325.herokuapp.com/. Since nice the registration page is on the free version of heroku, it sleeps if no one accesses it within 30 minutes, so if you try to hit the registration page and it seems to be not loading, just wait a minute, it has to wake up. That's just for the registration page, not for slack itself. post here in this thread and myself or an admin will add you.

The slack channel itself is https://layerdan.slack.com

So is slack just one of those things like discord that IT nerds flock to because it's IRC without being irc.synirc.org #bieks?

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.
Yeah it's irc but not garbage, basically.

It's irc without having to be tethered to a headless Linux box running bitchx in a screen instance

You should try it, it's fun

Is this something where people that use IRC are not allowed to be on slack or what?

No it's a thing where people who join slack to troll it aren't allowed. Regardless of IRC membership

Says the person with the invite only clique. I know I've never trolled, but I am apparently not welcome there because of my association with IRC.

irc.synirc.org, #bieks

Everyone is welcome in bieks, we are not a safe space echo chamber and we don't ban people we disagree with. All thoughts and ideas are welcome to be expressed, you just might get poo poo on for the stupid ones.

I'll have to see if I can get back in, the company had blocked IRC for a bit and is rather aggressive when they find proxies running internally.
