Re: [orion-dev] Irc?

I'm now in slack - can't join anything and i'm now forced to use yet 
another browser tab,
with different history, different notifications, different mechanics 
from everything else.

I personally don't like using anything else but IRC since it is so 
omnipresent/omniavailable.

...but ignoring that - where in Slack do I go to see if slack is more 
active than irc ?
