Thanks to BioMike for opening the new thread.
An openly accessible platform is essential for discussing both positive and negative news.
An approach such as slack, which is more reminiscent of 1984, does not necessarily promote confidence in the product. This is why I definitely prefer this platform here.

I don't know Rijk as a person but is he more extreme left or extreme right when it comes to censorship and his viewpoints?

I don't know him either, but appart from the official updates I didn't find open communication or discussions of the Gulden dev-team.
I understand that one wants to focus effort on the development rather than communications but as an open-source project IMHO you shouldn't hide behind closed curtains.
While considering to join the slack channel I saw too many posts about getting banned for a critical point of view and not one who called those out to be false. That's why I got the impression of a 1984 like state in there.

I rather have this thread where you can post your point of view freely if the only cost is that we also see some sarcasm, trolling and sometimes rage-comments. This way it's way more likely that one can build an opinion compared to if there's only whitewashed progaganda around.
