Everyday.
It's a fix point of internet chatting. It has just enough, people on it are either ~ok or great, it requires barely nothing.
I may have ran slack once but didn't stay. I used discord to talk to collapse minded groups, and although discord seems a great piece of work (audio chat is neatly done), both the resources required and the structure/format made chatting way less flowing compared to IRC.
