I think the question has to be: why would someone be joining this chat channel and who would they be?

I am not a member of any OARC chat channel; the mailing list is immediate enough for me. It also has durability. I know some chat platforms claim durability, but /that's only if you're a member/. What if you're looking for THE venue? How will you find it? How much time do you have?

How durable do you want your chat to be? Are people supposed to "search chat"? What is that? Why should it strive for durability?

I have specific issues with Slack, in particular surrounding the inability to hide my "onlineness" from one stakeholder group versus another (they might not be in the same "fire"). No, we are not better, together.

Slack, and the "commonly used platforms" are mostly heavily marketed and hoping for that magic "disruption" a.k.a. "market dominance".

OARC, you keep on being your bad selves.
