If you're talking about work, then community building is really important to gain trust and improve communication. I've been working on https://thebutterapp.com/ exactly for this. We're still in Beta but we're ready to roll out!

communities are easiest to build wherever your audience already is and where you're also consistently delivering value.
Hey Vinicius, that's a good question, you know! 🙌🙂
I think the best platform to build a community is where your target audience already lives.
I decided to start my Russian micro-community for startup founders and makers. I'm a founder and maker too. And we are living in Telegram and Facebook. I started to write posts about startups on my telegram channel and on my Facebook. And now there is my micro-community of founders and makers with 1000+ subscribers.
People love the platform that they use every day. If your audience loves Slack – that's the best platform for you.
@shashcoffe hey - i'd love to check out your community on Telegram. Could you please link it to me, if it's open to everyone?
@tanya_desai Haha I thought you understand Russian) Your name is so Russian, you know) But I can help you to practice it=) 🙌😀 Just let me know)
@shashcoffe oh yeah haha I see why you thought that - Tanya comes from the Russian name Tatiana I think!
That sounds great, thanks :)
Slack is great because of all the features you can get - as well as channels for navigation. There are plenty slack communities with thousands of users.
It really depends on what you're trying to do, but Discord is a perfect choice and has excellent community management :)
It depends on your target audience, who are your users and which platform will fit all their needs and help to increase your community
