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) reported8a Loading the team in @SlackHQ, getting eMail down to zero and getting Daniel up for school.

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.

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?

Karri Saarinen (@karrisaarinen) reported@gustaf @ycombinator @SlackHQ What is degrading? WhatsApp imo is not a good example. Can’t even hold login on a desktop, and have to auth with your phone. Sync not super reliable either
-
matt taylor (@mattployed) reportedslack going down for 30 minutes was like the apocalypse for tech startups @SlackHQ PLEASE dont scare me like that again
-
Krazed 🇵🇸 (@Krazed) reported@SlackHQ you have a degradation rn? unable to create channels and getting intermittent issues with events
-
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
-
Giuseppe Skyline (@giskyexplorer) reported@gustaf @SlackHQ Notifications are the bandaid for broken reliability. WhatsApp stays quiet because it works.

Henry Schuck (@HenryLSchuck) reportedEVERY @ZoomInfo customer can connect @claudeai and ZoomInfo together right now- but how about in @SlackHQ ? With Claude? Here’s how to build a targeted prospect list and account plan without leaving Slack. (In <5 minutes) Step 1: Ask Claude directly inside Slack to build you a list I asked for… “25 CROs and VPs of Sales based in Boston, at software companies between 500–1k employees, with $100M+ in funding. Name, title, email, mobile, total funding.” It taps straight into your Zoominfo database and all comes back right there in the channel. It even flags who is on your do not call list. Step 2: Pick an account. Ask Claude to prep you for the call, directly in Slack. It uses Zoominfo to pull every conversation you've had with them - calls, emails, pain points they've raised, products they use. It comes back with the leadership you NEED to know, what's happening at the account right now and specific angles that could help you win. This works inside Claude too when you connect it up to our MCP server - you can even ask it to build you a custom interface to sort, edit, and work the data however you want. Zoominfo is going to show up EVERYWHERE. Slack, Claude, wherever you're doing GTM work, your data should follow you there.

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.
-
mewc (@the_mewc) reported@SlackHQ lots of bugs and issues right now. Can't create channels and lots of jankyness. This release is a lot.
-
dnd dhmu (@refreshmygrave) reported@advaithj1 @thdxr @SlackHQ bro pls fix ur support for discord no real people reply ever
-
Rohan (@iamTRA) reportedSlack upload API down? @SlackHQ Cratered team's morning.
-
Sam Pullara (@sampullara) reported@thdxr @SlackHQ No one wants all replies to show up in the channel. It is a terrible defauu.
-
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.
-
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?
-
The Mishmash Cat (@TheMishmashCat) reported[1/5] Your #brain cannot multithread. When you switch from writing code to answering a @SlackHQ ping, your prefrontal cortex doesn't execute a clean parallel jump - it triggers an expensive, messy tear-down and rebuild process. You are burning raw compute.
-
Kleptocracy (@lfdoyfydoydtd) reported@salesforce @SlackHQ Instead of buying other crappy software companies, create the best sales rep. SFDC 1.0>2.0>3.0... ITS ALL SO BROKEN. Broken company that had a chance to replace salespeople but didn’t use the data and systems they already had to make it happen with agents. WTF is agentforce?
-
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.
-
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? 👀
-
Teo Vanyo Adiputra (@teostealth) reported@karrisaarinen @SlackHQ The handoff from Slack discussion to actual tracked issue is where most teams drop the ball - keeping that loop tight is harder than it sounds.
-
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.
-
SGN (@SGN06380601) reported@SlackHQ i need customer service help and am not getting a response from your agentforce. can you please help?
-
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.
-
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.
-
Rab Memari (@rabmemari) reported@chriskim_dev @Teknium No problem. I think its more of a @SlackHQ problem, but happy to check if I can fix it in Hermes and push a PR
-
Jordy.app (@Jordy_vD_) reported. @SlackHQ slack gets a lot of things right, but the iOS app’s search functionality is very bad. Can I please chat with someone who can then hopefully fix it?
-
Gap | Suby (@gaspardlezin) reportedCan someone please buy @SlackHQ and shut it down? This platform is horrible.

Chinthan B M (@mrchintz) reported@SlackHQ Down?
