I always looked to Slack when it came to real-time communication for business/foss

@H3wastooshort no doubt the issue is not privacy but open communication with a group of people
if the issue is privacy, discord is not the right tool

sorry for not making this clear enough in my original comment:

I would be concerned that a sizable chuck of the FOSS community would refuse to join a discord, on priciple, because they won't support a company that is going against all of their ideals.
