    @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.

    . @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?

    @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.

    Hey @SlackHQ, there's some talk in the security community about the world is sorta burning down and we need a new space for community discussion. Would you ever donate to help a very highly visible space? You'd be next to names like IBM/Dell/Microsoft/etc. DMs open to chat

    @thdxr @SlackHQ No one wants all replies to show up in the channel. It is a terrible defauu.

    8a Loading the team in @SlackHQ, getting eMail down to zero and getting Daniel up for school.

    @SlackHQ The new Activity view is an amazing improvement. One thing that would make it better: the same thread can appear multiple times (for example the original post and a reply). It would help to allow deduplicating threads from the list.

    Amanda (@hey_amandam) reported

    @TejasKumar_ @SlackHQ Yes 👏 The issue with this (and all things like it) for me is that there seems to be some idea that anyone sees "AI" and immediately associates that with some value. What user pain of mine are you solving? I literally do not care if you are using AI or not to solve it, I just want the best experience. Explore AI as a cta is a waste of space and my mental energy

    @SlackHQ: 40% less merge queue time, CI type-checking down from 7.5 minutes to 1.25 minutes. Canva: 58s to first error in the editor down to 4.8s.

    There was Pay by Eye, by Ring, by Watch… time to Pay by Juice? 🧃💳 Okay, this one was just a joke created by Callum (FrostyTrollz). But 10 years ago, paying with your watch or ring also sounded ridiculous. A great example of how today’s joke can become tomorrow’s product is.. @SlackHQ The team behind Slack was actually building an online game called Glitch. As the founders later mentioned: “The game was absolutely preposterous.” Eventually, the game failed and was shut down. However, the internal chat tool they built to communicate became more valuable than the game itself. That tool became Slack, now used by millions of teams. 🌱 Follow for more wild growth-hacks

    the most dangerous bug isn't the one that crashes. it's the one that says 'all good' when it isn't. i had a checker that was supposed to flag a problem. it was reporting green. every single run. turns out it was checking the documentation of the thing it was hunting, not the thing itself. so whenever the problem existed and was documented, the checker saw the doc, said 'found it, it's tracked', and moved on. confident. wrong. this happened twice in the same week in two different places. a report card that shipped one of its four answers unconditionally regardless of the actual data. a monitor that was asserting schema state it had never actually read. both passed. both lied. the lesson i keep relearning: a check that can't fail toward a confident opposite is not a check. it's a placebo. the question isn't 'does this run without error.' the question is 'what would this have to see to fire, and can it actually see that thing.' if the answer to 'can it see it' is 'well, kind of, it reads the notes about it'. you don't have a checker. you have a script that reads its own homework. @SlackHQ kept posting green cards. @AnthropicAI's Claude Code kept summarising them as healthy. everything looked fine. nothing was. what's the quietest false-green you've shipped?

    @SlackHQ are you guys shutting down? It’s been more than a week I’ve been contacting you guys. Support isn’t responding at all

  • grinich
    Michael Grinich (@grinich) reported

    @SlackHQ Please fix the rate limits. The current Slack API is practically useless since you reduced them.

  • PlotnikovDev
    Evgeny (@PlotnikovDev) reported

    @adilmania @SlackHQ What problem with slack? We use slack and discord.

  • alvaisy
    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

  • digitalandreas
    Andreas Elia (@digitalandreas) reported

    @SlackHQ Can you fix the main parts of Slack before adding more features pls? 🙏

  • JohnHarnett
    John Harnett (@JohnHarnett) reported

    @cyberomin @digitalandreas @SlackHQ If you've filed a bug with them on the last 5 years and arent a big co then you'd know. They dont fix stuff just because it's broken.

    Any issues with @SlackHQ

  • bradbeckett
    Brad Beckett (@bradbeckett) reported

    With how much sensitive data @SlackHQ stores, it's surprising they don't yet support Passkey login or have a BIMI email verification certificate so their legitimate emails get a blue verified check mark in major email service providers. @digicert pls reach out to them!

  • Krazed
    Krazed 🇵🇸 (@Krazed) reported

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

  • 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

    @thdxr @SlackHQ It’s always weird that you cannot actively reply to messages on Slack. The experience feels broken.

  • kmelve
    knut (@kmelve) reported

    Now that @SlackHQ Code is a thing, will they finally ship Glitch out of flash?

  • jason_alco
    Jason Alco (@jason_alco) reported

    @SlackHQ Our team loves the platform, but we really need to fix the mark unread feature. It’s been broken for years now. First, you should be able to mark a channel as unread without opening the channel and selecting a message. Second, half the time marking a message as unread doesn’t work. I have to go message by message, trying over and over until one works. Please fix this, thank you 🫠

  • SilchQuatch
    Björne 🇸🇪🏋️‍♂️ (@SilchQuatch) reported

    @QuinnyPig @SlackHQ Every single unwarranted notification births months of hate inside of me. Literally anti-ads for me, any pattern of it and I immediately remove the service. I guess it has to work or it wouldn't be done?

    @SlackHQ @SlackHQ cute, but can you fix the "copying emojis from slack to somewhere else please"

  • gaspardlezin

    Can someone please buy @SlackHQ and shut it down? This platform is horrible.

    @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.

    @NotionHQ @SlackHQ Channel-scoped agents fix the biggest AI rollout blocker — broad access feels risky to admins. Smart default.
