-
Abhishek (@abhi__katiyar) reported@peduarte @SlackHQ Mental model to help people make right choices “all your communication will become public record if your company gets subpoenaed”
-
Jori Lallo (@jorilallo) reported@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
-
Mutatyo (@kyukxs) reportedNew Slack Design is terrible. @SlackHQ can I revert to a previous version just a few updates from this one!
-
Ari Dehkordi (@arashdehkordiHQ) reported@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?

Steve Ferguson (@M66) reportedI love when @SlackHQ offers a nominal discount for a paid service you already get included with @GoogleWorkspace and @Microsoft365. If your paying $12 a month for Slack, you still need the other. Stop being wasteful with Slack Pro.
-
Jide (@rhymezx_code) reported@SlackHQ Tell me why Slack desktop is not working on Ubuntu 26.04 ( Resolute Raccoon ) ??? Honestly i have tried o
-
Josh Jackson (@IamJoshJackson) reported@scott_peterson4 @SlackHQ I wonder if they intentionally don't fix it so you keep opening the app to try and clear it
-
Brian (@talkerbrian) reportedWhy does @SlackHQ offer spell check without offering suggestions to fix basic typos?
-
Adil Mania. (@adilmania) reported@NebulaAI @safizaq @SlackHQ discord integration is kinda broken, like i keep having "nebula" links showing, if you can fix that, that will be perfect.
-
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
-
Agustín Ruiz (@aguscruiz) reportedHi @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 🫶

HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported7a Getting eMail down to zero, loading the team of today's tasks and support in @SlackHQ.
-
josh (@JoshCaughtFire) reported@peduarte @SlackHQ I like how the proposed community note is like ‘no they can’t’ then you read the slack docs and there is a self service export tool for org owners
-
HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported7:30a Getting eMail down to zero. Planning out my day in Google Calendar. Loading the team in @SlackHQ with today's website production and support.
-
Kim Jämiä (@KimJamia) reportedHey @SlackHQ, can you please fix the recent list of reactions on Android? It doesn't make any sense how it works. It never shows any of the emojis I mostly use so I have to search them every time.
-
Freddie Vargus (@freddiev4) reported@jeffreyhuber @SlackHQ have Jeff fix this for you pls
-
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
-
Wouter Witvoet (@wwitvoet) reported@SlackHQ Been trying to migrate to Slack Enterprise Grid since January 28, only get non-descriptive errors and can't get anyone from your team on a Zoom for 15 mins to do the config. No help from support apart from reiterating the same URLs for SAML. What can you do to help?
-
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.
-
Luigi ➔ nora.finance (@luigiremor) reported@discord @beeper I think I won't have this issue with @SlackHQ...
-
Mav (@mavexpress1) reported@SlackHQ you need to look into your app. The whole communication functionality is terrible, and it Lags alot
-
Travis Peters (@SivvyRat) reported@SlackHQ You have no way to provide feedback within your app so... your snap installer has major issues.
-
jbv 🌟 (@jbv) reported@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? 👀
-
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.
-
LoopGantt (@loopgantt) reported@NotionHQ @SlackHQ Channel-scoped agents fix the biggest AI rollout blocker — broad access feels risky to admins. Smart default.
-
LANGERIUS (@Langerius) reported@BarknTuncer @SlackHQ yeah notification sync issues are still surprisingly common
-
Mehmet Ali (@immehmetali) reported@SlackHQ Context is necessary but not sufficient. The real bottleneck is decision architecture: knowing when to retrieve, when to reason, and when to act. More context doesn't fix a broken agent loop.
-
Parker Chun (@parker_chun_) reportedIn all seriousness, would love some help debugging an issue @SlackAPI @SlackHQ
-
Signal House (@SignalHouseSMS) reported@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'
-
New Chapter Reprise Inigo Montoya (@BelmontJockey) reportedAVOID using @SlackHQ at all costs. The UI is TERRIBLE. I get random notifications under "Activity" and it is impossible to find. So there is a red bubble notification that will never goes away. It happens all of the time. FREAKING TERRIBLE! Impossible to track down.
