I’d never heard of that one, which does sound somewhat specialized: “Broadcast.
Alert. Respond. Turnout.”
But it could certainly be more useful to us as Aussie Tech Writers than Bay
Area Rapid Transit: https://www.bart.gov/

There is another option besides Slack. Have a look at BART

This invitation seems similar to me. What do we know about Slack? It's a
messaging application for teams. It's new, not from the 1990s. It uses a
proprietary protocol and JSON. You can ignore some conversations. Is that all
you can tell me? Yes, I could sign up and give it a go, but there are masses of
things I could sign up for. Why should I bother?
