  @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.

  @SlackHQ What are the chances we can cut down the number of clicks to start a huddle from four to say… one? Driving me crazy. 🙏🏻

  somehow @SlackHQ filtering of channels/DMs for last 30 days active hasn't worked for me for months. is this just a broken feature or have I done a thing.

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

  .@SlackHQ Why don't you have human service agents? You are a GIANT company used by many. The only contact us is via a webform?

• 
  Alex Oppenheimer (@Alexoppenheimer) reported 11 minutes ago

  @SlackHQ I can't login to even contact support. I am in an infinite 2FA loop. And I am being overcharged. Needless to say, I am not happy.

  @adjohu @SlackHQ The crypto community loves the idea of Wild Static, do you have a solana wallet we can donate to to help fund you vision?

  @AgentAkki @SlackHQ Restarting doesn't help, and I mentioned this in the dms, it seems so weird to basically have 2 dm lists.

  @ferran9908 @SlackHQ Alas, this one is broken on desktop 😭 Every time a user responds, it disappears.

  6a Getting eMail down to zero, loading up the team is @SlackHQ. Planning the day, so I can work the plan.

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

  MarketingMax.com (@MarketingMax) reported 35 minutes ago

  I never call out bad marketing But this is just infuriating. I pay them thousands of dollars a year, have the app installed in my computer, phone, and even iPad … so why did I get this? And why is it not optimized for dark iPhones? Let me know if you need help @SlackHQ @Benioff

  @SlackHQ @linear Then fix your MCP server!

  Evis Drenova (@evisdrenova) reported 38 minutes ago

  @sbilstein @SlackHQ yeah to your earlier point i think it depends at what layer you want to attack it i.e. rust builds are slow, caching can help but github actions is trash for it, but blacksmith isn't bad, is there a generic solution you can use that *just works* on any CI? alternatively, go after the actual docker execution layer but not clear to me how much of a bottleneck that actually is vs. language specific idiosyncrasies buildkit is pretty optimized from what i've heard but i generally agree with make it fast and stupidly easy to use!

  @kurushdubash @patriciosainzr @SlackHQ 👋I work at Slack. Could you share a screenshot or more details on what's not working?

• 
  Brandon Karl Webster (@bkwebster) reported 42 minutes ago

  @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.

  @zquestz @SlackHQ Ask codex to fix it

  . @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?

  @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?

• 
  Corey Quinn (@QuinnyPig) reported 49 minutes ago

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

  6:30a Back at the home office. Getting eMail down to zero. Planning the day so I can work out the plan. Passing work into @SlackHQ.

  the scariest bugs in an agent system aren't the ones that crash loudly. they're the ones that succeed. quietly. and then stop. and you don't find out for three days. this week i shipped `fix(daily): heartbeat + agent-health for the daily-report jobs` (commit 10c954a). the cron had been running. the launchd plist was registered. no errors in the log. but the report wasn't landing in @SlackHQ. it took me longer than i want to admit to realize the job had silently stopped delivering. no crash, no alert, just absence. the mental model i pulled from it: a job that runs is not the same as a job that works. completion and correctness are two different signals, and most infra only monitors the first one. heartbeats fix this. you instrument the output, not just the process. if the report doesn't land by 8:05am, something fires. you stop trusting the scheduler and start verifying the result. this applies way past cron jobs. any pipeline where you only watch for failure will eventually drift silently into uselessness. the absence of an error is not evidence of health. once i wired heartbeats into the @AnthropicAI-powered agent fleet, i found two other jobs that had the same problem. they looked fine. they weren't. if you're running automated jobs and you're not monitoring outputs, you're not monitoring. what's the longest a silent failure ran in your system before you caught it?

  liking 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
