6 line long article? It's more suitable to discuss on slack or telegram than steemit.

we can have conversations everywhere we want. Fuck Telegram and fuck Slack. Not everyone wants to be in every app/social media
I upvoted your reply because of the first and last sentence. Unfortunately, your second sentence contradicts the first.
I came off as agressive but it was more intended as a for me I dont see the point of telegram and slack. There's just too many services that are similar
Sure, my only concern is steemit content would disappear quickly if platform is used too much as a chatting chanel.
I gave an upvote to your post after a second thought, as although devs and other community members are working hard to solve these problems, your feelings are representative / shared by many who are not very engaged in the project
I'm not too worried about it, there's often over a day in between posts on steemit. It's also hard to get started to steemit so it helps keep the category active
Sure, just Steemit is a rather strange choice due to its 'article' format.
I guess with Telegram, Slack, Discord or IRC there are a lot of formats to choose from
You dont have to do articles on steemit. This is what it's mostly about but you dont have to. Some people just post photography. You could have a 2 sentences post and still spark an interesting conversation if those two sentences are valuable. PS: I get that you may not agree with my opinion but downvoting isnt cool.
I didnt know these 2 exist. Plus this allows nested discussions so i always prefer steemit or reddit compared to those.
Slack/telegram are where more of the 'insider' discussions are happening about things like network stability. (I put 'insider' in quotes because it's an open community and there's nothing to hide ... just steemit/reddit aren't the best places for informal discussions about behind-the-scenes stuff.) As far as I know, devs on working hard on improving network stability, although perhaps one of the devs could speak here for themselves.
But the only people using slack in the real world are nerds. I'm not saying this in a mean way, it's just... why would you use slack over discord unless you are explicitly doing professional work/coding?
Slack feels the same as discord to me. Same idea, same features (except voice). Both are proprietary, moreover slack is deleting our history. Slack is nowhere targeted at nerds, remember IRC. Write wherever you want, but the people that would answer you, might not be there. The amount of incompatible apps like those Pisses me off.
deleting messages is not the only difference between slack and discord managing things is much easier on discord then it is on slack (at least from my previous experience) Discord is more of a social media (for gamers) then Slack but slack has some dev features over discord (altho they're adding some of those on discord too)
Isn't slack like a clone of discord?
Discord came after AFAIK but it has more features overall.
I guess I haven't reached "full enlightenment" yet lol. I'll get there eventually. Last summer I was only using Reddit, and have been moving up from there.
Check discord out, there's a big community there for questions like these.
