Using a chat system they are already familiar with to ask more casual questions is a lot easier for some. Especially if you are thinking of people who are just starting out, some of which will be part of the next generation of network engineers.

Many new, young engineers will also feel more comfortable posting on message apps because the group is small, well-known and reasonably private, i.e., they are less afraid about sounding clueless to the whole world, on record, forever.
