Ask HN: What messaging tool should I use for a local affinity group?

I’ve been invited to join a couple dozen non-technical people who live in the same area who have started a group for events and meetups and want a better messaging solution than email. Facebook not an option, I’ve been told. I’m tempted to suggest free Slack, we don’t need a searchable archive that goes back long. But honesty I haven’t tried half of the currently popular messaging tools, and don’t have time to try them all to form an opinion. What do or would you use for this type of thing?
