Spectrum vs slack vs discord9/7/2023 ![]() ![]() So discussions often happen in the channels main stream. Even though Slack has introduced threads in the meantime you are not forced to use them.You cannot send links to certain discussions to your fellows.You cannot google for content (cause it’s closed).You have to register for it to get in contact with other members and get information To a large degree discussions are no discussions any longer but people use it as a support platform where they get helped by experienced consultants in nearly real time.īesides this “misuse” of the original idea I in the meantime faced the following drawbacks. Cause members often don’t use threads it’s even harder to follow. I’m still online from time to time to show that I’m still alive but I have massive problems to follow all the discussions. In the meantime the UI5 slack has about 2.500 members and for me it became almost useless. Cause lot’s of us are consultants and don’t have time to always be online this didn’t also really work very well. ![]() That’s not a bad idea in general but moderators have to moderate. Then there was a time we introduced moderators. But some people didn’t want to join another Slack and discussion about those non-UI5 topics continued in the UI5 Slack. So new channels and even new Slacks, e.g. When it grew further we realized that people not only talked about UI5 but also about other topics. When the group grew we realized that we needed more channels to filter content and discussions. We were a community with great ideas how to influence SAP resp. Unfortunately we haven’t really used it widely.Īt this point in time it was really fun to be part of this group. The app integration feature also sounded fantastic. You just write short messages without an official form (subject, salutation, signature) and others can answer in realtime. The communication with those platforms is easy. So it was a perfect platform to stay in contact in an unobtrusive way. 30-50 fellows who knew each other in person to a high degree. Slack was and is something in between WhatsApp, email and SAP PI. The new community (I think it came a bit later than the Slack) was also not usable at that time. The old SDN wasn’t really very usable anymore. At that time SAP Community was in the process of change. At the beginning I was thrilled cause this was a really easy way for exchanging problems, ideas and other things around UI5. HistoryĪbout two or three years ago Sean Campbell from GB created the unofficial OpenUI5 slack. 50 people it is one of the best tools that are around. Before I explain why I don’t like Slack anymore I would like to make clear that this estimation is only valid for public slacks. ![]()
