Well, just write without using profanity, and everything will be fine.
Regarding changing the client, I started seriously considering this issue a couple of months ago, and even asked for the opinions of some users. Among the options, I considered Skype, Discord, and WhatsApp. The latter seemed not bad, but it was immediately ruled out because everyone would have to essentially post their phone number online, which many are, of course, not willing to do, plus, as it turned out, not everyone has a smartphone. Skype, which changes with each version and not for the better, also didn't really please people. We even tried to create an HW channel in Discord, but that idea also failed. But with the demise of QIP, the problem seems to be relevant again. Let's discuss what default messenger you would like to see as a communication tool?
As for Slack, at first glance, it seemed to me like the same Discord, only in a browser version. Maybe I'm wrong, but the system seemed very similar.
Ideally, it would be good to integrate a communication tool into HW so that you don't have to use something third-party.
Otherwise, I think that the default version should be something well-known, where everyone doesn't have to register or learn something new. I would suggest Skype. But I feel that people are so attached to ICQ that this conversation will end in nothing.
Discord is more likely one of the copies of Slack, since Slack was developed long before it. Moreover, there is an open-source engine, an alternative to Slack, which looks very similar, and there is a suspicion that Discord is using it, simply customizing the interface in its own way https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server
Ideally, it would be good to integrate a communication tool into HW so that you don't have to use something third-party.
So, I'm waiting for a list of specific requirements so that I can more accurately assess this prospect.
