Non-team specific Channels

While SSI consists of 6 distinct teams, a large number of channels are general to all SSI members. These channels are great for cross-ssi discussions.

General Channels

  • #general - typically for general SSI-wide announcements
  • #random - for things you want to share with SSI that doesn’t belong in any other channels
  • #dankmemes - pretty self explanatory. Try typing "/dank" in the channel.
  • #spacenews - to talk about the current state of space affairs
  • #ssipac - politics
  • #best-of-slack - compilation of the best moments on SSI slack
  • #welcome-to-ssi - channel to welcome new members and answer any questions
  • #diverssity - A place to speak about relavant issues
  • #women - A place for women and gender minorities to speak about relavant issues and bond and stuff
  • #new-frosh - for the new frosh to speak among each other about young people problems
