I feel using slack vs discord because “professional is almost irrelevant” Even as a developer I don’t sit and go oh man I’m not going to their support chat because they are using discord, that’s not professional. Honestly, if I need “professional support” I’m not gonna ping the one or two guys who work for Strapi on Slack or Discord I’m going to be finding a POC to the team themselves via the website, whether email, GitHub. The chats are just that, chats, a quick way to quickly get community input on a problem or thought I’m having.
@Gayrat Honestly if threads are what you need and why you insist they stick with Slack over Discord then you’re at the appropriate place for it anyways.
To me feasibly for Strapi to stay with slack from a business standpoint they are going to have to do more to make money to be a worthwhile investment for them. They could just simple charge for Slack access, at which point they’d probably lose a lot of people because lets be fair, most of us wouldn’t pay for that, i’m a hobbyist so maybe my opinion doesn’t matter but i still don’t think most employers would be like well lets fund them so you can chat. Of course there are other ways for them to generate revenue to cover slack costs but again something will be sacrificed. I love strapi but as i stated i’m a hobbyist, i’d simply turn the other way and find the next headless CMS that exists, and i’m sure there are smaller agencies and business who’d feel the same way. Wordpress thrives still for a reason, the cost to entry is free.
This is all my 2 cents of course
