It's going to take more people willing to move away from slack for those purposes.

As it is, I'm going to propose that we move more key conversations outside of slack so that we can take advantage of feeding it into ai. It's a small jump from that to looking for alternatives.






The argument used to be “Let’s move FOSS conversation out of {Slack, Discord} because they prevent conversations from being globally searchable, and they force individuals into subscription to access history backlog.”

Getting indexed by AI crawlers appears to be the new equivalent to getting indexed by search engines.
