Slack&#8217;s aggressive sales efforts attempted to force users of the free tier to upgrade by deleting messages and channels that reached a certain age, eradicating entire histories of information. The Oxebridge Slack group had 800 users, and purchasing a paid plan would have cost as much as $80,000 per year.<\/p>\n<p>Discord, on the other hand, remains a free option for both Oxebridge and its users. It offers more options and controls than Slack, and is equally accessible on both desktop and mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p>To join the Discord channel, <a href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/yVaBM9pGpG\"><strong>click this link<\/strong><\/a> or visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxebridge.com\/discord\"><strong>www.oxebridge.com\/discord<\/strong><\/a>. If you do not have the Discord app installed, you should be prompted to install it. It is free.<\/p>\n<p>All information from the former Slack group has been permanently deleted.<\/p>\n<p>Oxebridge clients who previously used Slack to communicate with staff should know that it is no longer being used.
