Is it a good idea for the "Internet freedom" community to take US
government funding? Is it a good idea for us to use Twitter? I'd argue
those are far worse things than Slack...

Sorry, but your argument is overwrought and unnecessary. You don't have
to join the Slack channel. And you certainly don't have to interrogate
the organizers of the conference publicly because you've got a
holier-than-thou attitude about which tools are best.
