Tech Fleet is migrating from Slack to Discord! Growth and Development Guild has led the charge. Tech Fleet has carefully configured Discord to make it easy to use, and more elegant than Slack. We've worked for the past year to configure, test, and validate the features and setup.
In short: we're doing this to better serve our community members.
Discord offers way more features that are better for a community experience than the Free version of Slack. We've "hit our limits" as a community in Slack. Discord offers more personalized and powerful capabilities that community members can use.
Slack will be "decommissioned" for community use.
We will keep it up in September 2024. After which, we're going to remove all members and channels.
