I think it ultimately depends on the specific needs and preferences of your community, but generally speaking, Discord may be a better option for more casual and social communities, while Slack may be more suitable for professional and business-oriented groups due to its advanced features and integrations with various tools. Me, personally, I use discord more than I use slack

@dhruv_dubey1 Well put, Dhruv. The one put off for Slack is its pricing. It's impossible to pay per user to handle large communities. Though I love the clean, clutter free experience (compared to Discord).

@pranabgohain hey Pranab ๐Ÿ‘‹ IMHO Slack or Discord, Discord or Slack, both have pros and cons. at Documenso, we recently switched to Discord. we just think itโ€™s the best option for what we want to build -- a developer-friendly, community-driven environment. FYI below are some stories and threads that inspired us: above all, pick a platform you enjoy using. the key to a successful, engaging community is your personal engagement. whatever your choice is, I wrote a blog post to help handle the transition with a step-by-step guide. hope it helps!

Both are great, I guess it really depends on unique needs of a team

@helshevts Sure. As for me, I love the clutter free experience of Slack, but the free-to-use approach of Discord.
