We have to create a Slack space for ourselves. I know a lot of publications used it once upon a time but I haven't seen much chatter about it in at least a year. I did create a personal one and left invitations open for people to join for free and use at will. I had very few takers so I shut it down.
The one thing about BuyMeACoffee is that it's a little like Twitter as far as communications go.
