  • wrtaylor74 wrtaylor74 (@wrtaylor74) reported

    What happened to customer service? @SlackHQ has our check for re-subscription, cashed it, but 'can't find it' and wants us to create another invoice. Do the words 'No way in hell' resonate? Do your job...

  • LBradz Lindz🏃🏼‍♀️ Edinburgh Marathon training! (@LBradz) reported

    @virginmedia hi, for some reason today the Internet is blocking @SlackHQ? Tried just using my phone data loads fine, but broadband it's just not working?

  • imdsm Adam K Dean (@imdsm) reported

    @josephdenne @SlackHQ I agree. I was among your first cohort of users back in 2013, @SlackHQ, and introduced you to orgs when people still liked using email. Things peaked in about 2014/15 but since then, I can't help but feel like everything has slowly been eroding.

  • IndoUSOP IndoUS OP (@IndoUSOP) reported

    @SethDillon @SlackHQ @libsoftiktok Use Matrix/Elements on self hosted hardware. Not difficult to run. I can send resources/help.

  • sedjtroll Seth Jaffee (@sedjtroll) reported

    So... did anyone else lose pretty much every note they had on recent game ideas when @SlackHQ decided to "make their free service better for users" by restricting access to anything older than 3 months (rather than 10k comments)? Anyone? Just me? Cool. Cool cool cool.

  • URLOfSammich The URL of Sammich (@URLOfSammich) reported

    @SethDillon @SlackHQ @libsoftiktok Isn't software as a service just dandy 😐

  • zrschneider zachschneider.eth (@zrschneider) reported

    Anyone else having issues with the new @SlackHQ DM view? Creating a new message/group chat is a chore and the constant movement of chats jumping up and down is making me 🤢 At least give users the option....

  • nenad_unkovic Nenad Unković (@nenad_unkovic) reported

    @SlackHQ I don’t recommend this service, they are openly supporting groomers and pedos.

  • JoeScho15 Joe Scho (@JoeScho15) reported

    @SethDillon @SlackHQ @libsoftiktok All of these companies actually have to make money now that the Fed is cracking down. They'll go bankrupt or reverse course with hat in hand.

  • _angleofrepose_ Durga Pandey (@_angleofrepose_) reported

    @SlackHQ your message syncing has really worsened over the last few months. I see new msg notification but not message, I see new message on desktop but not mobile, etc etc. Can you pls fix it? I was expecting Twitter to have issues, not you!

  • JoshKadden Josh Kadden (@JoshKadden) reported

    In order to start a new conversation on Slack, you no longer can click a "+" button. You now have to click 3 different times. @SlackHQ Whatsup with this? Pls fix.

  • gmestonks2021 ThoughtsfrmUranus (@gmestonks2021) reported

    @SethDillon @libsoftiktok @SlackHQ Lol my company actively commits intl fraud using Slack but hey I guess that’s not a problem?

  • yezzer iestyn lloyd-wilkins - fosstodon.org/@yezzer (@yezzer) reported

    @SlackHQ Hey, I’m having this issue. Followed that 👆but no dice. It’s on the vrdevs slack which is on the free plan. Is that a limitation?

  • nenad_unkovic Nenad Unković (@nenad_unkovic) reported

    @SlackHQ I don’t recommend this service, they are in favor of groomers and pedos.

  • JDantzler3rd John Dantzler (@JDantzler3rd) reported

    @SlackHQ Absolutely. Biggest issue is messages are received, show up in notifications, and then do not show up in the chat. I will click a specific message notification which brings me to a conversation, where the message isn't included.

  • rofldoodledo Gautam (@rofldoodledo) reported

    @SlackHQ Thanks for the response, this didn't help solve my problem. I need to disable new DMs to stop showing up on top of the DM list.

  • superstraight34 Parvag Arglebargy (@superstraight34) reported

    @SlackHQ You can't trust Slack with your business. Better stick with Microsoft - they won't steal your money and cancel your service.

  • durandcompton Down The Road Homestead (@durandcompton) reported

    @SlackHQ Doubling down on defending child molesters?

  • mendywolosow mendy (@mendywolosow) reported

    @Upwork you need to fix the messaging on your app. It’s brutally hard to work with and it inhibits conversation because it’s so bad. I started to message on @SlackHQ and it’s been a game changer.

  • bcardarella Brian Cardarella (@bcardarella) reported

    @SlackHQ This is why the change was stupid: my list of DMs is always changing because of the limit that can be shown. So I will first scroll down to see if I have the DM available. Before I was right there and I could hit + to open the DM I couldn't find in the list.

  • strzibnyj Josef Strzibny (@strzibnyj) reported

    @bcardarella @SlackHQ Slack is terrible

  • HeidiWa60292325 Heidi Wagner (@HeidiWa60292325) reported

    @SlackHQ - not going to lie - the update that you made around muting channels and showing in the sidebar was not great. I would mute channels and create a category of the muted channels to show unread and now it is broken and has impacted my workflow quite a bit

  • samir_javer Samir Javer (@samir_javer) reported

    @SlackHQ I have several channels that I have muted (but I still monitor them), and my "Channels" section is set to Show Unreads Only. But ever since the recent sidebar update, I no longer see those channels appear in the sidebar when they have new messages. How do I fix this?

    @SlackHQ It's not simpler though. This doesn't help

  • JamesFadeley James Fadeley ❌ (@JamesFadeley) reported

    Dear @SlackHQ. I keep clicking on "unreads," thinking it'll take things out of my brain, to help me forget whatever was written. Instead, it keeps giving me new things to read. This is a bug. Please fix.

  • stephennagy Floriiiida Freedom (@stephennagy) reported

    @SlackHQ Hey Slack why you cancel @libsoftiktok ? Going to cancel all my company accounts with you Monday unless that’s realized as an error on your part and fixed immediately.

  • nenad_unkovic Nenad Unković (@nenad_unkovic) reported

    @SlackHQ I don’t reccomened this service, they are openly supporting groomers and pedos.

  • ThomasSzymon Syzmon Thomas (@ThomasSzymon) reported

    @SlackHQ Slack loves protecting child abusers. Do not sign up for their service. #CancelSlack

  • bcardarella Brian Cardarella (@bcardarella) reported

    @SlackHQ No I need to scroll all the way back up to the top. It's a contextually broken user experience and just bad design.
