    @aaditsh @adilmania @SlackHQ Same, it's 10 times better than discord, teams, hangout, zoom, etc. Not sure about newer apps but I literally have 0 issues with slack. It's really good with connect too if you work with external companies, beats email by light years.

    @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.

    I am never going to use @SlackHQ again unless they fix the issue on the iPhone app where it doesn’t auto scroll to the latest message in a thread. You have to scroll down for 2 mins to get to the latest message. Not working for me on OpenClaw. Like if you know what I mean.

    Someone at @SlackHQ needs to fix how they deal with markdown. Its markdown but not really? Pasting stuff from elsewhere sometimes preserves formatting, sometimes doesnt? I had to do workarounds when working with API, but pasting content from claude in the messagebox is terrible

    .@SlackHQ and @Jira have the weirdest integration possible. Have spent the last 15 mins trying to remove jira app from Slack, but unable to. Can someone more knowledgeable help?

    @SlackHQ You have no way to provide feedback within your app so... your snap installer has major issues.

    Our community slack channel with 1800 active members have been affected by the massive channel delete from Slack, we have tried to email them, call them but received no helpful support for a week. @SlackHQ Really appreciate if anyone could help bring our community back 🙏🙏🙏

    @RobSwish @SlackHQ Does restarting the app fix it?

  • FluorineHQ
    Fluorine (@FluorineHQ) reported

    @gustaf @SlackHQ Reliability is the floor, not the ceiling. Slack hit the floor and is now adding notification noise to mask it — classic engagement-metric trap. The deeper issue: messaging apps stopped being where work happens and became where work gets talked about. That's the gap worth solving.

    Cathryn (@cathrynlavery) reported

    @Shopify @klaviyo @SlackHQ The Non-Technical Technical Dictionary, Day 2: Frontend & Backend Every app has a front of house and a back of house. Same as a restaurant. The frontend is what you see and touch. Think of Amazon, or any website you use. → The menu bar, the buttons, the search box. Everything on screen is just a list of things you're allowed to ask for. That's the menu, the dining room, the host stand. But nothing on that menu is actually happening at your table. When you hit "Buy Now," it's like placing an order with a waiter. He walks it back, the kitchen cooks it, and he brings it out when it's ready. The backend = the kitchen. You'll find database, business logic, server. Anything heavy (pulling your order history, processing a payment, sending an email) happens back there. The frontend only handles what fits at the table: how the buttons look, what color the page is, the small animations etc. Think Michelin star. They're not torching your steak tableside. They need the walk-in, the grill, the prep station, the sous chef. Software is the same. The interesting work needs the full kitchen. When a service like Cloudflare or AWS goes down and takes half the internet with it, that's a backend problem. The ghost kitchen caught fire and every restaurant relying on it went dark. A frontend problem is the one you've seen a hundred times: a button that won't click, text piled on top of an image, a page that looks broken on your phone. Frontend is form, where backend is function.

    @SlackHQ Our team loves the platform, but we really need to fix the mark unread feature. It’s been broken for years now. First, you should be able to mark a channel as unread without opening the channel and selecting a message. Second, half the time marking a message as unread doesn’t work. I have to go message by message, trying over and over until one works. Please fix this, thank you 🫠

    Sketchy behavior: Someone from @SlackHQ joined my company channel last week saying "we're here to help you with the product" (we're not having issues). Then today started pestering me about an overdue invoice (we don't have one). Beyond violating. Shameful behavior @salesforce.

    @SlackHQ the mobile app has significantly regressed. why do I have a DM tab and an activity tab that only lets me filter down to DMs again? I want to easily filter for mentions.

    @SlackHQ, I’m having issues with my mobile notifications. I’ve checked every setting on my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, yet I still don’t receive any push notifications. I’m missing time-sensitive information because I have to open the app before I see any updates.

    @SlackHQ there’s a widespread issue with slack today. Not sure about Mac but my entire team with windows seems to be impacted. Slack becomes irresponsive on windows a few minutes in. Tried ‘repair’ and force close, but no help there. We are using app in our phones to communicate.

    @MadronaVentures @SlackHQ @salesforce Should we expect investment & AI to be doubling down on the green economy now that no one credible is promoting the fossil fuel/engineered obsolescence economies to be sustainable or even beneficial?

    It's from 2011, but I still miss Glitch. It was a browser based MMO based on collecting and crafting. Crazily enough it was made by the company that went on to rebrand and make @SlackHQ. The messaging system in the game became the basis for Slack.
