1 points · Open discussionCame here to say this. The rands slack has a number of virtues:
* large, with over 10k members. This lets you see a lot of different perspectives.
* because he used to work at slack, it doesn't suffer from the 'memory hole' or other limits of the typical community slack. There's a ton of knowledge you can gain just by reading old messages.
* curated. No one can just join, everyone has to send an email to him. I don't know what kind of vetting happens, but there's at least some.
* active. Almost too active, it can be overwhelming. But this means that when you post a q, you tend to get some kind of feedback (unlike some other communities I've been in).
* clear code of conduct https://github.com/randsleadershipslack/documents-and-resour... I know they have active moderators, not sure I've seen anyone get kicked off, but definitely folks have

been scolded (personal experience).
* clear purpose: promote tech leadership. Not just for VPs, CTOs, but any kind of tech leadership.
That said, haven't joined the channel that parent mentioned, but have definitely had some great high level discussions in some of the other channels.
Fun fact, anyone can start a channel there. When I was a startup CTO a few years back, I started #startup-cto and now there are 1000+ folks in the channel.
Mmmm, wasn't that familiar with Keybase. That looks nifty, and very encrypted.
I do agree that the Slack chat is ugh cuz free plans are limited. But I've seen open Slack (or insert fav chat/forum software here) do well, even with just a good community guidelines (e.g. https://github.com/randsleadershipslack/documents-and-resour...)
But either way, if peeps are interested in this, I'm game to start a community somewhere for this, been thinking about this for a while:
