Slack wants us to go, and braid-chat will be our new home?

It is one possibility, yes.

Would you like an invitation to the currently running Braid instance that we are using during development. I am there every day.

Send me one

It requires an email address, which can be provided via private message to either @rafd or @jamesnvc - the two primary developer of Braid.

Let me see if they are available now.

Email is not private information on slack.

Is that the address that you would like to use to log into Braid?

yes for now

I think organizations that profit from communication should provide space for communication.

Such as?

IRC networks are run by organizations that profit from IRC communication.

For example, github relies partly on IRC bots to get work done.

I was not aware of that.

I think clojure shops can provide servers for braid-chat instances.

I agree.

I'm not sure if braid-chat supports federation.

It is being considered.

Braid is open source.

We are experimenting with various models of communication,

I haven't gotten a response from the developers so they are not currently available, but as soon as one is they will send you an invitation.

You should receive the invitation in less that 12 hours from now.

ok

Sorry for the delay but we are a small team now.

And you will likely have questions that need answering so it is better to have the developers available so they can give you their undivided attention.

Sending invite now
