    @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?

    @antonioventre_ @SlackHQ Hey man, I’d really appreciate help getting Slack restored. I’ve got a company with 40 employees and it’s catastrophic man anything you can do to help Tried dming but it didn’t work

    @SlackHQ need urgent help our active Slack workspace suddenly got deleted.

  • mjparme
    Vortex (@mjparme) reported

    @SlackHQ why is there no obvious way to join a channel in Slack? Seems like a huge usability problem, the + sign next to channels creates a channel, but joining one is very elusive

    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 🙏🙏🙏

    @SlackHQ @notion the only repetitive question saved here that matters is 'is the otp service still down.' second only to 'is the otp service still down for everyone or just me'

    Hi @SlackHQ, can you please fix this notification dot issue? It's been bothering me for like a month or more already. It shows that I have something unread when I don't. Even hovering on it makes the dot go away when there's something unread. It's very annoying for people with "unread anxiety" like me lol. Thank you 🫶

    @SlackHQ liking the new activity view, still getting used to it. One thing: it doesn’t respect the “Just display names” setting. Is a fix coming? 👀

  • YouPulseX
    Paul Sant · Telecodex (@YouPulseX) reported

    @pizzaboy @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ Then "project channel" is a default, not a scope. The issue list command still follows the caller's workspace visibility.

    @SlackHQ you have a degradation rn? unable to create channels and getting intermittent issues with events

    @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.

    @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

    Darcy (@darcy_jpa) reported

    @SlackHQ @linear @cursor_ai Slack is a garbage product. Everything about it is trash. The reliability is trash, the support is trash, and the way you handle users is absolute trash. Impressive how consistently terrible you manage to be.

  • Jimidvte
    Jimidate (@Jimidvte) reported

    @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.

  • asifmghafoor
    Asif (@asifmghafoor) reported

    Hi @SlackHQ out workspace (Spacious) has been deleted by mistake - no notification or emails or anything. We need this restored with history. Can someone please help? We have sent several support requests over the past few hours and no one has responded

  • FredsDaily
    HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported

    7:30a Getting eMail down to zero, passing out assignments in @SlackHQ

  • karrisaarinen
    Karri Saarinen (@karrisaarinen) reported

    @gustaf @ycombinator @SlackHQ I’d say Slack. Haven’t really experienced those issues you mention. Unless my internet is very bad. iMessage/whatsapp overly phone and counterparty focused so I’m more often wondering if the message actually got delivered or not and if the problem is me or them. Slack is more of a server and it doesn’t send the message if it doesn’t work.

  • _THE__FUHRER
    VISHAL (@_THE__FUHRER) reported

    @SlackHQ @stewart Stewart Butterfield and his team were developing a game called "Glitch" in 2011 The Glitch was an ambitious and creative multiplayer game, but it struggled to find a large enough playerbase. They had to shut it down on 2012

  • Langerius

    @BarknTuncer @SlackHQ yeah notification sync issues are still surprisingly common

  • digitalandreas
    Andreas Elia (@digitalandreas) reported

    @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

  • Oxymarun_
    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

  • Gr8fulTr8s

    @SlackHQ issues connecting to a new workspace. Where can I get support?

  • gustaf
    Gustaf Alströmer (@gustaf) reported

    @karrisaarinen @ycombinator @SlackHQ I'm experiencing reliability issues with Slack. Message's aren't sent. Messages can't be deleted. App not loading properly. I haven't had any of those issues with Whatsapp ever to be honest. Messages on iPhone is even worse. It's nearly unusable for me.

  • merklejosh
    JM (@merklejosh) reported

    @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!

    8a On my morning @Zoom with Jbazmine. Planning out the day, so we can work out the plan. Going through and getting eMail down to zero and assigning tasks in @SlackHQ.

    @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.

    @SlackHQ down. What's next?

    Slackbot 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
