Speaking for Hyperledger, our priorities are likely different than most here. We care more about permanence - making sure that ad-hoc discussions related to the development or use of Open Source software can still be discovered and referenced long after the code it's related to has been committed, so that latent assumptions about requirements or users or debates about architecture etc can be seen by devs years later trying to figure out if code is broken or why the bike shed is purple or whatever. Privacy and confidentiality and anonymity are not thus priorities; there are better solutions to that. Slack would have been fine but doesn't keep more than 10k messages. Confidential conversations are an anti pattern in open source development (except regarding personal issues, eg poisonous people,etc - in which case, use other tools). But in much of what else the LT community focuses on its probably essential. Brian -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
