It has channels and topics. These work similarly to your use case of email. In fact, like email - you can ignore or leave the discussion.

How many here have used Slack as there is a lack of knowledge regarding the features. > On 13 Jul 2015, at 03:04, Yves Dorfsman <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 2015-07-12 14:52, Allan Irving wrote: >> We are debating this as an alternative to a mailing list.
