That's a great insight. We've been planning on making our slack public soon and also keep telegram going. With slack - because security breaches/hacks are so easy and common - every user would be required to use 2fa, which could potentially cut down on trolling as well? There's different considerations to both and we're currently weighing them.

Back in 2014, I was one of the first to use Slack for coin communities. It was obviously a lot better than IRC. It was also great for dev teams to collaborate and chat on with all those plugins. However, like I said, you can't search back on old conversations (3 days was already old when you have 1,000+ members).

If you're gone for week, you can't backread anymore. Whereas in Telegram, even with the busiest of chat groups, you can always read them all.

I think it's best to use Slack for actual developers who are collaborating and Telegram for the general users.

However, if you are an activist or giving advice to activists, you need to analyze carefully what threat model you are up against. You need to understand how you can uphold your freedom of speech, assembly and person. You might end up using Telegram instead, or you might end up avoiding mobile devices altogether.

I like slack but I have seen security issues with it, also the unknown data storage quantity is strange and the issues that you have mentioned.
