What's your go-to platform for written discussions, and why?

Question

Writing is still the most effective way for long-form discussions in my opinion to reach the best decision.I find that tools like Slack aren't quite optimized for this.What tools does your organization utilize for such in-depth written discussions?

IRC. It&rsquo;s real time and an open technology platform. I have looked at Discord, which can do so much more like placing calls, but still prefer IRC.Otherwise I still enjoy old style discussion forums. They are best if they support markdown. GitHub issue threads are ok.
