Hi Kilon, Why move there? Just because Unreal is using it and dropped Slack doesn't mean it doesn't work for a small community like ours.
I would avoid adding noise here and stick with what already works. It took us some time to reach ~250 members in https://pharoproject.slack.com/. Balkanization is never a good thing. However you're free to create as many channels as you like, users will tell their preference with activity in either. Regards! Esteban A.
