  @samlambert @joshmgross It’s almost impossible to mention a bug in Slack and get anyone at @SlackHQ to fix it.

  @karrisaarinen @ycombinator @SlackHQ I'm experiencing reliability issues with Slack. Message's aren't sent. Messages can't be deleted. App not loading properly. I haven't had any of those issues with Whatsapp ever to be honest. Messages on iPhone is even worse. It's nearly unusable for me.

  Darrell Brogdon (@dbrogdon) reported 2 minutes ago

  Yesterday I signed up for a service. Today, all my @SlackHQ had a notification asking if I wanted to connect some bot of that service to my Slack accounts. One thing has nothing to do with the other, as far as I'm concern. If this keeps up, I'll delete all of my Slack accounts.

  @gustaf @ycombinator @SlackHQ What is degrading? WhatsApp imo is not a good example. Can’t even hold login on a desktop, and have to auth with your phone. Sync not super reliable either

  With how much sensitive data @SlackHQ stores, it's surprising they don't yet support Passkey login or have a BIMI email verification certificate so their legitimate emails get a blue verified check mark in major email service providers. @digicert pls reach out to them!

  @peduarte Yes @SlackHQ messed something up recently. Search is terrible now.

  Slackbot legit might be one of my favorite uses of AI outside of coding. I use this thing constantly to find past conversations, summarize entire chats, help write responses, look for things I might be forgetting, or even look up past context on a decision or topic. Seriously @SlackHQ this legit improves my life

  @SlackHQ you should really fix your reactions search its such a pain to remember the names of emojis. Look at what folks at @raycast and @telegram do 👀

  @SlackHQ I've sent a message in via the feedback address, but for 4.50.136 either there's been an undisclosed change of GPG keys used in signing Linux packages or the wrong key was used accidentally. For environments with strict package verification this leads to install errors.

  [1/5] Your #brain cannot multithread. When you switch from writing code to answering a @SlackHQ ping, your prefrontal cortex doesn't execute a clean parallel jump - it triggers an expensive, messy tear-down and rebuild process. You are burning raw compute.

  Now that @SlackHQ Code is a thing, will they finally ship Glitch out of flash?

• 
  JM (@merklejosh) reported 23 minutes ago

  @SlackHQ There seems to be a bug in your Version 4.50.140 app (Mac) where if you have open a New message and you try to then click in the Search bar, you can't – it just flashes. Can you please fix this. It's very annoying. Thanks!

  @tobi +1000 to this 🙌 Please @SlackHQ, we are practically begging for this fix at this point

• 
  Björne 🇸🇪🏋️‍♂️ (@SilchQuatch) reported 27 minutes ago

  @QuinnyPig @SlackHQ Every single unwarranted notification births months of hate inside of me. Literally anti-ads for me, any pattern of it and I immediately remove the service. I guess it has to work or it wouldn't be done?

  KRYTOS (@CSO_Krytos) reported 27 minutes ago

  @Cal_Irvine @thdxr @SlackHQ threads are terrible

  Please @SlackHQ can you add a proper GIF selector I need to send better gifs right after I take down production

  @OpenAIDevs @googledrive @SlackHQ Can we fix Codex.... When it does a context automatically compacted it stops what its doing

  @thdxr @SlackHQ It’s always weird that you cannot actively reply to messages on Slack. The experience feels broken.

  @SlackHQ lots of bugs and issues right now. Can't create channels and lots of jankyness. This release is a lot.

  @RTFern @SlackHQ Sorry about that, Ryan! I work at slack. Tell me more about what’s not working for you?

  6:30a Getting eMail down to zero. Planning out the work, so I can work out the plan. Loading support and production into @SlackHQ.

  Andreas Elia (@digitalandreas) reported 47 minutes ago

  @cyberomin @SlackHQ Just to name a few: - Randomly opening channels a few miles up in the chat so I have to go all the way back down again - Right-click context menus are all over the place and inconsistent - Ghost notifications that show up randomly with no notification to go alongside them

  the scariest bugs in an agent system aren't the ones that crash loudly. they're the ones that succeed. quietly. and then stop. and you don't find out for three days. this week i shipped `fix(daily): heartbeat + agent-health for the daily-report jobs` (commit 10c954a). the cron had been running. the launchd plist was registered. no errors in the log. but the report wasn't landing in @SlackHQ. it took me longer than i want to admit to realize the job had silently stopped delivering. no crash, no alert, just absence. the mental model i pulled from it: a job that runs is not the same as a job that works. completion and correctness are two different signals, and most infra only monitors the first one. heartbeats fix this. you instrument the output, not just the process. if the report doesn't land by 8:05am, something fires. you stop trusting the scheduler and start verifying the result. this applies way past cron jobs. any pipeline where you only watch for failure will eventually drift silently into uselessness. the absence of an error is not evidence of health. once i wired heartbeats into the @AnthropicAI-powered agent fleet, i found two other jobs that had the same problem. they looked fine. they weren't. if you're running automated jobs and you're not monitoring outputs, you're not monitoring. what's the longest a silent failure ran in your system before you caught it?

  8a On my morning @Zoom with Jbazmine. Planning out the day, so we can work out the plan. Going through and getting eMail down to zero and assigning tasks in @SlackHQ.

  isn't this the same problem @PromptQL promised @sama in order to kill @SlackHQ ?

  @SlackHQ really said what if your coworker wasn't annoying enough?? now you can add an AI coding agent to the group chat @Claude fix this 30 seconds later claude: PR opened greg from accounting: why is there a PR claude: I have no idea who Greg is....

  @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ The handoff from Slack discussion to actual tracked issue is where most teams drop the ball - keeping that loop tight is harder than it sounds.

  @SlackHQ liking the new activity view, still getting used to it. One thing: it doesn’t respect the “Just display names” setting. Is a fix coming? 👀

  @SlackHQ @SlackHQ cute, but can you fix the "copying emojis from slack to somewhere else please"
