    @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.

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

    @alphato_o @SlackHQ Even a sticky banner hanging on the workspace saying “Your workspace will be shutting down” on the chat page would be better. They could even use the UI components for the 90-day limit. Today’s behavior makes it seem like they just don’t care.

  • YukanL
    Ken Liao (@YukanL) reported

    It'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?

    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?

    @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

    @samlambert @joshmgross It’s almost impossible to mention a bug in Slack and get anyone at @SlackHQ to fix it.

    @trq212 Please @SlackHQ help us. I’m so tired of telling ppl to download. I’ve now started making videos of the html files and then sharing file as well lol

  • Beryl2021
    Beryl (@Beryl2021) reported

    @SlackHQ Same here. Our workspace is also showing as deleted and we're locked out. Billing is up to date and no one on our team triggered this. Glad to know we're not the only ones, but this is a major glitch. We’ve already reached out to support but haven't heard back yet 😢

  • stacheFonzi
    Stache (@stacheFonzi) reported

    It's from 2011, but I still miss Glitch. It was a browser based MMO based on collecting and crafting. Crazily enough it was made by the company that went on to rebrand and make @SlackHQ. The messaging system in the game became the basis for Slack.

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

    @gustaf @SlackHQ Notifications are the bandaid for broken reliability. WhatsApp stays quiet because it works.

    @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

    @gabsmashh Once nearly turned down a job interview because the invite came through @MicrosoftTeams. Spent the whole call trying to casually work out if they used @SlackHQ instead. They did.

    @MadronaVentures @SlackHQ @salesforce Should we expect investment & AI to be doubling down on the green economy now that no one credible is promoting the fossil fuel/engineered obsolescence economies to be sustainable or even beneficial?

    @SlackHQ should fix the UX of their video player. It's one of the worst pieces of UX I've ever interacted with. It feels like I suddenly landed on some government app. Too messy

    @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

    Anyone know how to gert @SlackHQ support? I've got a bit of a lingering issue that I'm not sure how do deal with due to ownership of Slack deployment.

    @SlackHQ One recent Slack regression: If you edit a post that contains a link, the link preview disappears. Please fix this 🙏

    @TheNickBigar @CricTalk29 @SlackHQ No it doesn’t track time, you need to tell the time spent via message. Example- worked on X for 30 mins - remind me about checking the production issue around 3 pm The idea is to reduce friction for users on how they track time and tasks
