More Communication, less documentation (Trello for that)
What you know from Facebook

Groups = Channels
personal messages
New since last time
Reactions
Comments as threads
(private & public)
(incl to yourself ;))
- focus on conversations, not profiles & people
=> starting with "#general" channel & threads
=> more channels on demand
What is different from FB

Some Housekeeping
For yourself
- notifications (snoozing, email, working hours, vacation mode)
- saving messages
For the community
- keep channels / information public by default
- fill out your profile! :)
- pinning messages to channels

2 Cents on Slack from your facilitators
Two cents on Slack usage:
- There is the fine balance between oversharing and not enough content to stay interesting
- If it gets too much in one channel - split the topic into another one. Not before!
