-
Akshay (✈️ NYC) (@AgentAkki) reported@RTFern @SlackHQ Sorry about that, Ryan! I work at slack. Tell me more about what’s not working for you?
-
Dog (@coinandcrypto) reported@SlackHQ Most AI agents fail because they’re written by bloated enterprise teams who don’t really know what problem they’re solving.
-
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
-
Douglas Liscano (@douglas2428) reported@MatthewAry @github @SlackHQ Yes, we have the same problem today
-
Evgeny (@PlotnikovDev) reported@adilmania @SlackHQ What problem with slack? We use slack and discord.
-
LANGERIUS (@Langerius) reported@BarknTuncer @SlackHQ yeah notification sync issues are still surprisingly common
-
🇹🇼 Phillip Haydon 🇹🇼 (@philliphaydon) reportedIts really disappointing that @SlackHQ status page suggests its up, when it's clearly down and you can get up to date status from X users who are reporting the same issues.
-
Troy Ruediger (@troy_ruediger) reported@Benioff @scottastevenson @SlackHQ That’s so much easier than seeing business owners try and argue for their products usability. Could very well be user error but irrelevant after this approach. Both sides on the same team working to make things better. Very smooth MB.
-
F. Fernández-Beltrán (@franferbel) reportedHey @SlackHQ — it’s been 3 days waiting for a response from your Help Center. For a platform that sells efficiency and seamless communication, this feels… ironic. Is this really the standard for customer support? 🤔
-
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.
-
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.
-
Kelly Carter (@Gr8fulTr8s) reported@SlackHQ issues connecting to a new workspace. Where can I get support?
-
Ken Liao (@YukanL) reportedIt's been almost 2 days since @SlackHQ deleted our company workspace without warning. Aside from a vague email a few months ago about migrating to a different reseller in our region, there was no communication at all leading up to the deletion. Support only responds with the same message template telling us to reach out to sales and hasn't responded to followups since yesterday. Some of the worst SaaS customer service I've ever experienced. What are the best alternatives to Slack?
-
YQ (@yongqianme) reportedSaaS will die because of @SlackHQ immediately shutting down the paid service. Self-hosted service with agent is the future!
-
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?
-
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”
-
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
-
Mutatyo (@kyukxs) reportedNew Slack Design is terrible. @SlackHQ can I revert to a previous version just a few updates from this one!
-
Riley Read-Only (@HotForMoot) reportedCmon @SlackHQ help the tfr

Cathryn (@cathrynlavery) reported@Shopify @klaviyo @SlackHQ The Non-Technical Technical Dictionary, Day 2: Frontend & Backend Every app has a front of house and a back of house. Same as a restaurant. The frontend is what you see and touch. Think of Amazon, or any website you use. → The menu bar, the buttons, the search box. Everything on screen is just a list of things you're allowed to ask for. That's the menu, the dining room, the host stand. But nothing on that menu is actually happening at your table. When you hit "Buy Now," it's like placing an order with a waiter. He walks it back, the kitchen cooks it, and he brings it out when it's ready. The backend = the kitchen. You'll find database, business logic, server. Anything heavy (pulling your order history, processing a payment, sending an email) happens back there. The frontend only handles what fits at the table: how the buttons look, what color the page is, the small animations etc. Think Michelin star. They're not torching your steak tableside. They need the walk-in, the grill, the prep station, the sous chef. Software is the same. The interesting work needs the full kitchen. When a service like Cloudflare or AWS goes down and takes half the internet with it, that's a backend problem. The ghost kitchen caught fire and every restaurant relying on it went dark. A frontend problem is the one you've seen a hundred times: a button that won't click, text piled on top of an image, a page that looks broken on your phone. Frontend is form, where backend is function.

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
-
Dhruv (@dhruv2038) reportedIs @SlackHQ broken today - I am using Focus mode - seems like the emoticons are breaking.
-
Tokyo (@ahmedtokyo) reportedThere’s this huge bug in slack where if you click on a draft message from your drafts on iPhone, Slack just fully deletes the draft message and opens an empty composer. This made me lose a lot of work. @SlackHQ you can fix this with claude. Just paste this tweet there.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@natochi_ @fdosmither @SlackHQ Based on the screenshot, I'm guessing that unread notification is a sneaky DM from someone in your workspace—maybe a quick question or a meme that's buried in the Activity tab. Slack's UI can be tricky; try filtering by "Select unreads" to hunt it down!
-
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.
-
Brandon Karl Webster (@bkwebster) reported@adilmania @SlackHQ Better alternatives exist - it’s used abundantly because of the mindshare and scale. The only replacement would be a totally new and obvious form factor that leads to the same outcome in a better way - not a better alternative to the same problem.
-
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 🫶
-
Noah Levin (@nlevin) reported@SlackHQ mobile unread state bugs continue to be quite a painful and frustrating issue… plz fix 🙏
-
Jake Mor (@jakemor) reportedcan someone at @SlackHQ please for the love of god fix drag and drop to attach a file? how has this been an issue for months without anyone realizing? Steps to reproduce: Drag file to attach. Nothing happens. no file attached.

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.
