-
Max.Y (@maximilianyuen) reported@RealFeatBit @SlackHQ same. and just yesterday they push new AI....wonder is it relevant. no email notification, all connections and their official server status are normal. can open new workspace no problem.
-
Mav (@mavexpress1) reported@SlackHQ you need to look into your app. The whole communication functionality is terrible, and it Lags alot
-
Zev Zoldan (@ZevZoldan) reportedHot take for the AI founders knocking @SlackHQ: Slack doesn’t have a “communication problem.” Teams do. Most “ignored messages” aren’t about noise, attention spans, or channel chaos. It’s because Slack messages have zero structure. No timing. No follow-through. No visibility. Just text thrown into the void and a prayer. The second you add structure — forms, confirmations, simple logic — everything changes. People actually respond. Leaders stop guessing. Teams stop resending the same message 12 times. Slack doesn’t need fewer messages. It needs smarter ones. That’s what we’re building with @TryThreadly.

Matthew Cassinelli (@mattcassinelli) reported@samhenrigold So good. I wish this was accounted for when opening Spotlight from the Home Screen so they were distinct, that’s the only reason I don’t unless I have two sets (which do account for each other). Also lol @ @SlackHQ having an old Siri Shortcut donation whose image is broken
-
F. Fernández-Beltrán (@franferbel) reportedHey @SlackHQ — it’s been 3 days waiting for a response from your Help Center. For a platform that sells efficiency and seamless communication, this feels… ironic. Is this really the standard for customer support? 🤔
-
AI for Science (@AI_for_Science) reportedOur community slack channel with 1800 active members have been affected by the massive channel delete from Slack, we have tried to email them, call them but received no helpful support for a week. @SlackHQ Really appreciate if anyone could help bring our community back 🙏🙏🙏
-
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
-
benja (@benjaminakar) reportedplease fix @SlackHQ 🫶🏼
-
harjot.co (@harjjotsinghh) reported@SlackHQ Microsoft's lock-in betrays what AI can't fix alone
-
noah (@noahsolomon) reported@hiiinternet @SlackHQ It’s a big problem actually
-
Kurush Dubash (@kurushdubash) reported@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
-
Akshay (✈️ NYC) (@AgentAkki) reported@kurushdubash @patriciosainzr @SlackHQ 👋I work at Slack. Could you share a screenshot or more details on what's not working?
-
Ariel Sterman (@ArielSterman) reportedIs @SlackHQ down? heard it here first.
-
Younes Aberkane (@Kamkom05) reportedhey @SlackHQ i'm trying to invite @linear agent to my discussion with "/invite @Linear" but everytime I press enter it prompt me to a dialog asking me to invite people and not showing linear agent. can you help out ?
-
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
-
Joey Kudish (@jkudish) reported@mike_hasarms @SlackHQ Perhaps not but I’m in a few so they should force them to move elsewhere or do something about the spam. It’s a problem
-
Disky.eth (@OxDisky) reportedI just learned you can basically see all @SlackHQ profile images publicly without the need for authenticated request. Isn't this both a #privacy issue and security issue? I mean, you can basically fetch them from ca.slack-edge dot com. #slack #privacyprotection
-
Brandon (@brandooonndd) reported🚨 @cursor_ai just dropped Automations always-on AI coding agents that run 24/7, triggered by GitHub PRs, Slack messages, or timers. They handle security audits, auto-approve low-risk PRs & fix bugs overnight. The future of dev just shipped. @github @SlackHQ #AIcoding #Cursor

HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported7:30a Getting eMail down to zero. Planning out my day in Google Calendar. Loading the team in @SlackHQ with today's website production and support.
-
Saleem Malkana (@smalkana) reported@nlevin @SlackHQ Totally fair. We want to fix this bug and ones like it, overall keeping a high quality bar across Slack. We think we've found and patched this: can you hard reload Slack (Cmd + Shift + R), 2x if needed, and LMK if this is resolved? If not, we'd love device logs to help us get this fixed. DM'ing you now 🙏🏽

Jide (@rhymezx_code) reported@SlackHQ Tell me why Slack desktop is not working on Ubuntu 26.04 ( Resolute Raccoon ) ??? Honestly i have tried o
-
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? 👀
-
Simon Taylor (@sytaylor) reportedDear @SlackHQ and @beehiiv Making ctrl+k NOT be the hyperlink shortcut is deliberate pain inflicated on GDocs and Gsuite users. Please fix.
-
rushikesh (@ivadapav) reported@SlackHQ down. What's next?
-
Contextrix (@ContextrixAi) reported@ManusAI @SlackHQ This solves a real problem for growing teams. Slack becomes a black hole of information where someone asked the same question six months ago but nobody can find it. Having that knowledge surface automatically when you need it saves a lot of repeated conversations.
-
Troy Ruediger (@troy_ruediger) reported@Benioff @scottastevenson @SlackHQ That’s so much easier than seeing business owners try and argue for their products usability. Could very well be user error but irrelevant after this approach. Both sides on the same team working to make things better. Very smooth MB.
-
andrei alikimovich (@lkmvch) reported@nlevin @SlackHQ Have the same issue :/ annoying
-
JIM EVANS (@JEVANSCPM) reported@SlackHQ @slack_community not sure what happened and on who’s side, but after your recent update I’m having major issues opening your program. (Mac OS)
-
HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported7:30a Back home, getting the boys up, getting eMail down to zero, loading the team up with today's support and production website work (in @SlackHQ).

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.
