Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Arun Sharma (@Oxymarun_) reported@SlackHQ came out of a failing 10-person game studio the team needed a way to coordinate that wasn't email they built it for themselves then realized every distributed team on earth had the same problem
-
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.
-
YQ (@yongqianme) reportedSaaS will die because of @SlackHQ immediately shutting down the paid service. Self-hosted service with agent is the future!
-
Peter Garber (@petegarber) reported@Cartidise @OutofGalaxyy The icons might be stupid here but Gchat works pretty well inside of Gmail and this UI actually is OK. The only problem is that Gchat should literally be able to replace @SlackHQ but it’s been ignored.
-
jbv 🌟 (@jbv) reportedliking the new slack activity view—still getting used to it. One thing: it doesn’t respect the “Just display names” setting. Is a fix coming? 👀 @SlackHQ
-
Jason Alco (@jason_alco) reported@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 🫠
-
A-Yo! despises APC (@AyomideAdenowo1) reported@daniielezeh @SlackHQ Bruhhh, valid question 😭 I've been having issues with the ******* video playback. I didn't even know it was possible to have worse video playback than twitter.
-
Kurush Dubash (@kurushdubash) reported@SlackHQ can you please revert your most recent update, it is so bad. This is terrible for anyone who is inbox 0. Please don't make me use Teams
-
Tony Dehnke - building 12v.Biz 🧰 & more (@tonydehnke) reported@yongfook Weird you had some many issues. My last few have gone really well. The most annoying app is @SlackHQ which sucks as it makes you log into each space again. Hopefully your next one goes better!
-
GosuCoder (@GosuCoder) reportedSlackbot 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
-
LANGERIUS (@Langerius) reported@BarknTuncer @SlackHQ yeah notification sync issues are still surprisingly common
-
Chimene | Dantown (@AgentC_006) reported@thdxr @SlackHQ It’s always weird that you cannot actively reply to messages on Slack. The experience feels broken.
-
Q (@quionie) reported@thdxr @SlackHQ ohhh i’m so down for this because this would be MUCH better lol
-
FCT (@fightcopytrolls) reportedFacepalm: @SlackHQ still uses crosswalks and motorcycles during login to annoy humans and entertain AI.
-
mr.tipton (@mrtipton_art) reported@pizzaboy @SlackHQ Nah, I’m that guy. Gotta fix it
-
Steini (@67steinip) reported@kitayoshi_son @SlackHQ We've sent 2 emails so far nothing, they arent going to respond to you because this is a MASS event, you arent alone, we didnt even get the email people talk about and some others say that as well, we just got wiped. I don't think they will help you.
-
Noah Levin (@nlevin) reported@SlackHQ mobile unread state bugs continue to be quite a painful and frustrating issue… plz fix 🙏
-
Hamid Ali (@HamidAli) reportedUh is @SlackHQ having issues…? 👀 #Slack
-
Rob Swift (@RobSwish) reported@AgentAkki @SlackHQ Restarting doesn't help, and I mentioned this in the dms, it seems so weird to basically have 2 dm lists.
-
HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported7:30a Getting eMail down to zero and loading up the team in @SlackHQ.
-
Azmy (@AzmyBlog) reported@lennysan @SlackHQ @aunder The strobe light thing is so real. The person presenting has been inside the problem for weeks. The reviewer walks in cold. And it's not really a flaw in the exec ..... it's just structural. That gap exists at every level in every review setting. The actual skill is learning to rebuild context for the reviewer quickly, instead of assuming they're already there with you.
-
Code Guru 🌞 (@hicodeguru) reportedhey @SlackHQ even after an year this issue still there i cant hear voice of joined person - he drops it and then rejoin - now it works and the new ui for start hudle - not good, extra clicks :( sometime i forgot to actually start
-
Dan Mazy (@danmazy1) reported@SlackHQ I’m the Primary Owner of my company workspace & completely locked out. Lost 2FA phone number + original email is dead. No backup codes. Submitted a ticket but need help ASAP — my team is stuck. Please DM me 🙏 #SlackSupport
-
Taksh Shah (@takshshahh) reportedSomeone 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
-
LoopGantt (@loopgantt) reported@NotionHQ @SlackHQ Channel-scoped agents fix the biggest AI rollout blocker — broad access feels risky to admins. Smart default.
-
IT (@IncredibleTrade) reportedIs @SlackHQ mobile app down?
-
matt taylor (@mattployed) reportedslack going down for 30 minutes was like the apocalypse for tech startups @SlackHQ PLEASE dont scare me like that again
-
Mike Rochefort 🐧 (@omenosdev) reported@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.
-
Brad Beckett (@bradbeckett) reportedWith 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!
-
Awais alwaisy (@alvaisy) reported@adilmania @SlackHQ what's wrong with slack. bunch of alternatives. each one made money. slack is still stable and useful. i don't have any issue with slakc except limited message history for free users
