  @SlackHQ You need to fix that app so it stops putting people into Auto Silence repeatedly without touching anything. Your code is trash

  @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

  In this day and age of infosec threats, this subject line from @SlackHQ is a bad call. After the brief cortisol spike that someone using the name Miles Davis had joined our Slack, I scrolled down, and then just wondered why on earth I would want this in my work communication tool.

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

  @discord @beeper I think I won't have this issue with @SlackHQ...

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

  @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ Did Linear do this before agents? I tried project-level Slack channels at my org and found it works for enterprise engagements nicely, but breaks down at feature/epic level projects for our SaaS. There's a granularity sweet spot, too fine and context switching costs spike. Too coarse and projects blur. Plus no project is actually isolated in small teams, so cross-project conversations forced more people onto each channel and productive engagement suffered. I get the AI context-confinement angle, but curious what other benefits you're seeing?

  @ferran9908 @SlackHQ Alas, this one is broken on desktop 😭 Every time a user responds, it disappears.

  Claude is the best corporate CYA buddy I used to have full CYA files with records of messages, emails and things I did - I was terrible at keeping those and people took advantage of that. With Claude and @meetgranola - I have canonical record of all conversations, @SlackHQ messages, emails, canonical decisions - everything Oh, you say I didnt do something? I didnt respond? Here come the receipts

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

  @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.

  @RobSwish @SlackHQ Does restarting the app fix it?

  @karrisaarinen @linear @SlackHQ Linear coding agent when? 👀 currently handing it off to another service but be nice to skip the extra step.

  @chriskim_dev @Teknium No problem. I think its more of a @SlackHQ problem, but happy to check if I can fix it in Hermes and push a PR

  @SlackHQ pls never ask me again if I want to DM a thread when I tag someone with no text. This is a terrible feature.

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

  Fluorine (@FluorineHQ) reported 42 minutes ago

  @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.

  @pizzaboy @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ It's still the same agent with capability to access everything as the caller user can. If you're calling it in the channel, it has that as context so it will file issue into the project by default and answer questions about the project without you needing to name it separately. If there's situatons where it's not working as intended, would love to get screenshots

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

  @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!

  @cyberomin @digitalandreas @SlackHQ If you've filed a bug with them on the last 5 years and arent a big co then you'd know. They dont fix stuff just because it's broken.

  @thdxr @SlackHQ unbelievable right? terrible ux

  Theodor Marcu (@theodormarcu) reported 54 minutes ago

  Putting an agent in Slack creates a very different type of UX problem: it has to know when to shut up We spent a lot of time tuning when Devin should speak, stay quiet, or move work into a separate channel. Devin was the first agent to support Slack natively, so it was great to bring 2 years of those learnings to @SlackHQ for the Slack Code launch.

  Salman (@m_salman_afzal) reported 58 minutes ago

  @SlackHQ But whether they decide to act on it will depend how much they prioritize the issue. And this is what open source could become as well. We can only report but only their agent factories can now contribute. So, it kind of is closed source since no one is now reading the 100k loc

  @SlackHQ your app notifications are glitching, please fix it
