This is really unfortunate. I'm part of a large US OpenStreetMap community on Slack. I'm also on OSM groups on Forums, Telegram and was on Discord. None are designed to support large diverse communities. Note we are going to create an instance of Discourse.
But obviously even if the community were to drop Slack, Slack probably wouldn't care. But it does provide reinforcement to those that won't use proprietary systems. It will likely drive me there as well.
