-
Satwick (@satiwick1) reportedHave spent 40 mins trying to change my old email to a new one on @SlackHQ to join a new shared channel. For every action @SlackHQ makes me login with 2-factor authentication & then never maintains state in the same browser window. And then I get locked out for too many logins!!!
-
Shantanu (@shantanughosh) reported@SlackHQ is the new Webex. Absolutely terrible performance and difficult to use on cellular networks in India now. I was so excited when the company I joined used Zoom instead on that terrible terrible productivity waste that was Webex. That’s slack now.
-
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.
-
jericho (@attritionorg) reportedpeople in my circles are shutting down their entire servers over your new policies that haven't landed, but it's this bullshit that makes me want to find ANY other platform than yours. except @SlackHQ of course. even though they have improved while you haven't.

Matt Slotnick (@matt_slotnick) reportedhello @SlackHQ team there’s a very annoying bug that makes agents in slack significantly worse UX and is probably crushing engagement. can someone help
-
heatherm.eth (@heathermhuang) reported@SlackHQ need urgent help our active Slack workspace suddenly got deleted.
-
miya (@202409R) reported@ManusAI @SlackHQ This kind of UX that charges users instantly without a clear confirmation step is unacceptable. @ManusAI please fix this and issue a refund. Users should NOT be charged $394 by mistake.
-
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'
-

Mav (@mavexpress1) reported@SlackHQ you need to look into your app. The whole communication functionality is terrible, and it Lags alot
-
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.
-
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 🫠
-
PatrickUllrich (@ItsPatrickU) reported@karrisaarinen @linear @SlackHQ Linear coding agent when? 👀 currently handing it off to another service but be nice to skip the extra step.
-
Gap | Suby (@gaspardlezin) reportedCan someone please buy @SlackHQ and shut it down? This platform is horrible.
-
Paul Sant · Telecodex (@YouPulseX) reported@pizzaboy @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ Then "project channel" is a default, not a scope. The issue list command still follows the caller's workspace visibility.

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.

duh (@qudnesa) reported@SlackHQ @question_base why not fix your own agent first?

Son of Earth (@vasundhar) reported@SlackHQ there is issue with your cache where you store message send failure and likes

Antonio Ventre (@antonioventre_) reportedA lot of companies in Hong Kong today got kicked out from shared @SlackHQ channels with clients etc However, Slack sent multiple emails to everyone back in February to move to Alibaba Cloud We did the migration in March, for 2 of our companies, and forced to do yearly plans (can’t do monthly subs with Alibaba Cloud) No major issues faced, apart from the fact that we doubled paid, since after the yearly payment they charged monthly again (but said that they will refund) If anyone has problems DM me, I have direct phone access with a representative and could fix this potentially asap

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?
-
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? 👀
-
