Hi Kaxil, Not suggesting that a migration to ASF slack is the right move (don't have a strong opinion).
I disagree with your premise that separation of channels per topic is impossible in the ASF Seems could have channels in the ASF Slack : #Airflow-announce #Airflow-users-bay-area #Airflow-github #Airflow-random #Airflow-creative As an example, Beam has many different slack channels for many different topics. Another point to consider, message history: Do either Airflow and/or ASF Slack's keep full history? And/or would one or the other allow or make easier the ability to keep history for archive of ongoing record (if desired)? I have seen slack being 'mirrored'/synced, with other messaging platforms for either alternate interface or archive/history.
