Changes to Kubernetes Slack (Kubernetes Contributors blog)

Description:
The Kubernetes project has announced that it will be losing its " special 
status " with the Slack communication platform and will be
downgraded to the free tier in a matter of days: On Friday, June 20, we will 
be subject to the feature
limitations of free Slack . The primary ones which will affect us
will be only retaining 90 days of history, and having to disable
several apps and workflows which we are currently using. The Slack
Admin team will do their best to manage these limitations. The project has a 
FAQ covering the change, its impacts, and more. The CNCF projects staff
has proposed a move to the Discord service as
the best option to handle the more than 200,000 users and thousands of
posts per day from the Kubernetes community. The Kubernetes Steering
Committee will be making its decision " in the next few weeks ".
