Please don't use Slack for FOSS projects

Honestly, my group uses Discord (http://discordapp.com) now. We love it. It replaces IRC and Teamspeak for us. Plus, I can get a user on the service in 5 seconds just by sending a link to them.

It is mostly used for gaming, but coding with it is just as great. There are a lot of public servers also for all sorts of things. (http://discord.me/servers).

The voice is what we love it for, chat is awesome during the day when some of us are not able to talk over voice.

React moved to Discord after being kicked off of Slack for having too large a channel. The Discord folks welcomed them in as a supported use case.

If your biggest concern with Slack is the invite-by-email hack, try Discord.

I've been playing around with Discord, but it seems like it lacks search and a proper API. I'm looking forward to its potential though!
