Or you could just use an IRC channel...

You have to admit, getting people on slack is much easier than getting them to join your irc channel.

Despite having to have Slack for work anyway, I find joining public projects' Slack channels to be too high-commitment, so I never do it. IRC? No problem. I also like that IRC somehow has both a less formal and a lower-BS feel/culture to it.

For non-tech people, yeah, it's probably easier.
