Hi, update here (this is Christina, Hack Club cofounder): looks like Hack Club is staying on Slack.

Thanks to all of you for the appreciation and support for Hack Club, and for listening to what we were going through. The support has been amazing. Hack Club has so many cool teenagers coding awesome projects, making friends and solving problems together, and it's great to see so many people championing them. We are glad to stay on Slack and want to do so much more with them together going forward.

Thanks to Denise and the Slack leadership team for reaching out here on hn, and in a call directly with me and Zach today. And thank you for restoring Hack Club's terms with improvements. We really appreciate it, and we're glad to be able to stay on Slack.

I just want to add that it was great to get to know Mattermost and the team- and the hack club engineers were actually pretty excited to move there. It's an amazing product and for it to be open source is awesome.



I'm surprised you aren't still going to move hosting. Now you have more time to do it carefully and not get burned again.


Thanks for keeping us posted, Christina!

Definitely like to judge folks based on how they fix (systemically!) problems. That said, did any kids in the club voice concerns about staying with an organization which had such a [potentially] severe incident?


I'm a Hack Clubber! Alot of teenagers did voice concerns as this incident destroyed the trust in Slack and was honestly a wake up call
