In fact it was initially created for the members of the Linux
Foundation project only, which is why registration is moderated
for emails that don't have a domain linked to a member (BTW not
any Google account will just work e.g. @gmail.com is moderated,
only @google.com for Google employees isn't).

And yes IRC is the "least common denominator" chat platform.
Maybe having a bridge between the main Slack channel and IRC
would help.
