Here is an essay I wrote in January 2016 against using Slack for FOSS (which cites that Ryver page): http://pdfernhout.net/reasons-not-to-use-slack-for-free-software-development.html
The biggest practical issue (ignoring philosophical ones or theoretical ones) is probably "Slack is focused on teams, not communities". The essay mentions some FOSS alternatives including Mattermost (which can import Slack history) and Matrix.org (which is decentralized). Perhaps someone knows if there is already a Clojure/ClojureScript frontend to Matrix.org? :-) --Paul Fernhout (pdfernhout.net) "The biggest challenge of the 21st century is the irony of technologies of abundance in the hands of those still thinking in terms of scarcity."
