Oscar May • Quntem (@TheOtherSeru) reported@SlackHQ That's not the issue, and it seems to be fixed now. It was the new feature to show only active channels, and it kept changing itself. But now it has fixed itself!
-

-
Zev Zoldan (@ZevZoldan) reported@ethanmonkhouse @SlackHQ dude yes, exactly what we're trying to fix with @TryThreadly!
-
Matt Makai | Full Stack Python | Plushcap (@fullstackpython) reportedHow is @SlackHQ’s video & audio file transcription still so inaccurate? Just use @AssemblyAI or give us an option to use a different provider rather the terrible model you’ve got. It’s frustrating to post a video and the default transcription subtitle is riddled with errors
-
AI for Science (@AI_for_Science) reportedOur 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 🙏🙏🙏

harjot.co (@harjjotsinghh) reported@SlackHQ Microsoft's lock-in betrays what AI can't fix alone
-
Josh Woods (he/him) (@sdoowhsoj) reportedNot a single day passes when using @SlackHQ on mobile where uploading multiple images, causes me to tap on the "record an audio clip" button, because "attach" button appears *after* selecting an image and slides the entire sheet up. @SlackHQ please for the love of god fix this!!
-
HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported8a Back at my desk, getting eMail down to zero, loading the team up with today's website support and production in @SlackHQ.
-
Jatin Saini (@AskJatinSaini) reported@aouabch Most teams don’t fail to scale because of bad tools. They fail because every new tool hides the same old inefficiency. IMO @clickup and @SlackHQ aren’t the problem. It’s the illusion that organisation = progress.
-
Jason Robinson (@voideng) reported@QuinnyPig @awscloud I would agree, but I had a number of workloads fail over to other regions without issue, all of them used DynamoDB. I am thankful that @SlackHQ is multi-region.
-
Huseyin Emanet (@huseyinemanet) reportedI'm trying to download an attachment on Slack but it never finishes 🤔 The progress bar just gets stuck and I've been trying to copy the link to the file and open it in the browser to download it but now that's not working either. @SlackHQ @SlackStatus

Antonio Ventre (@antonioventre_) reportedA lot of companies in Hong Kong today got kicked out from shared @SlackHQ channels with clients etc However, Slack sent multiple emails to everyone back in February to move to Alibaba Cloud We did the migration in March, for 2 of our companies, and forced to do yearly plans (can’t do monthly subs with Alibaba Cloud) No major issues faced, apart from the fact that we doubled paid, since after the yearly payment they charged monthly again (but said that they will refund) If anyone has problems DM me, I have direct phone access with a representative and could fix this potentially asap

Jide (@rhymezx_code) reported@SlackHQ Tell me why Slack desktop is not working on Ubuntu 26.04 ( Resolute Raccoon ) ??? Honestly i have tried o #Ubuntu

Araldite #FBPE 🇪🇺🇺🇦 (@DitePeter) reported@SlackHQ I've cleared the cache and it's still the same, I'm running the latest android on a Samsung 24 ultra. it has the drop down menu on the PC but not the phone.

Nathan (@Nathan_Bliss) reported@SlackHQ, having trouble loading your desktop app on IOS. Your status page is not updated yet.

Yariv Ashkenazy (@YarivAshkenazy) reported@Premauj @SlackHQ Classic Slack... Always buggy. Are you or your company building software? I'm building a work messaging app purpose-built for software-building companies. Would love a quick chat about the problems you or your company have with Slack!

Riley Read-Only (@HotForMoot) reportedCmon @SlackHQ help the tfr

Openfort (@openfort_hq) reported@aseemk @SlackHQ hey can you send us a dm and we'll try to fix this>
-
Zev Zoldan (@ZevZoldan) reportedHot take for the AI founders knocking @SlackHQ: Slack doesn’t have a “communication problem.” Teams do. Most “ignored messages” aren’t about noise, attention spans, or channel chaos. It’s because Slack messages have zero structure. No timing. No follow-through. No visibility. Just text thrown into the void and a prayer. The second you add structure — forms, confirmations, simple logic — everything changes. People actually respond. Leaders stop guessing. Teams stop resending the same message 12 times. Slack doesn’t need fewer messages. It needs smarter ones. That’s what we’re building with @TryThreadly.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@TheDavidYB @clickup @SlackHQ Interesting critique. ClickUp's Unlimited plan limits chat history to 90 days, per their help docs—upgrading to Business or higher unlocks unlimited access. This mirrors Slack's approach, creating tiered value from stored data. Users may see it as artificial gating; providers justify via storage costs and revenue strategy. What specific fix would you suggest?
-
Nick Ruffini 🇮🇹 (@TheNickRuffini) reported@SlackHQ I reached out a few days ago and no reply. I am missing a LOT of my channels on desktop. They just disappeared - but are still available on mobile. I cleared out the cache, restarted, re-installed, etc. Nothing is fixing it. Can you help please?
-
Deepak Jadhav (@jadhavdeepak93) reportedSometimes you slow things down on purpose to preserve coherence. Example: @SlackHQ shows typing indicators. Not because it must, but because humans need temporal context. Elevators do the same thing in spatial context.
-
Joey Kudish (@jkudish) reported@mike_hasarms @SlackHQ Perhaps not but they’re being used that way (I’m in a few that I need to be in for work) and spam is a real problem. They should either force them to move elsewhere or offer spam moderation/ reporting tools. Status quo isn’t working.
-
KC (@exPUNISHER) reported@salesforce @MrBeast @SlackHQ Jimmy texted Pyramid! Write that down, it won't be in the code though.
-
RyanMeyer (@RyanDMeyer) reported@jedcli @SlackHQ HK company, US billing. suddenly shut off and Slack has zero customer service. No phone number, no live chat, nothing... submit an email and wait and pray apparently. What ********.
