  @SlackHQ Hey! I have a problem with calls. My AirPods working everywhere but Slack calls. I've tried everything but can hear or use my mic when I switch to AirPods. I've changed anything and just stopped working 2 days ago. H e l p m e . . .

  @SlackHQ Just started using your app for work! But emojis are not appearing on my Android 😭 (works fine on PC) Is there a fix?

•

  @brusisceddu @SlackHQ @discourse Yep, totally agree it’s problematic to allow blocking a coworker, but they already figured they problem out. If they can put adding apps and inviting people behind a permission gate, they can do the same here.

  @SlackHQ do I need to remove/reinstall Slack Android to fix the blank emojis?

  Once upon a time, the Internet was built on protocols, not apps. Email, websites, interoperability. No dependence on a single company that can go down and kill entire industries for hours. (looking at you, @SlackHQ) People irate at the power of single companies should look again

  @SlackHQ Your service is so laggy today, I have to wait 15s for message to appear in my client…

  Looks like @SlackHQ is having more problems today.

  @SlackHQ @joemerante This definitely needs a fix ASAP. I missed two calls from my boss today because I was not aware of this bug. Saw it come up on my phone and immediately went to slack on my computer. it disconnected him from my phone both times. I am using PC windows 10, and have an iPhone.

  Hi @udacity. I am taking part in the Bertelsmann Technology Scholarship under the Data Track program. However, I have a slight issue with @SlackHQ. Can't access older messages because I'm not on a paid plan. Ever considered moving peer interactions to @discord instead?

  How do you communicate with your remote teams when @SlackHQ is down? Is pigeon post hipster enough?

  MORE SCOOTERS THAN EVER (@MoreScooters) reported 21 minutes ago

  @juliaferraioli @lizthegrey @SlackHQ they seem to think that this is a HR problem as an excuse to not put in the basic work

• 
  Skylar Sanford (@MadeBySkylar) reported 23 minutes ago

  We don’t need frills; no security, no video talk, no apps, no extra support. Nothing extra. @SlackHQ we just need a dumbed down, basic account with unlimited text and image history. Take @discord directly head on.

  @leftoblique @SlackHQ So many OSS projects use Slack. It's not necessarily feasible to move them to Discord, especially for underrepresented groups. Slack needs to fix this.

• 
  Dana Fried (@leftoblique) reported 23 minutes ago

  @juliaferraioli @SlackHQ Ah. I have heard that the inability to set separate avatars for different discord servers (at least with the same email address) can be a problem for some folks, but compared to not being able to self-moderate that seems like a minor issue.

  @SlackHQ I'm having an issue on mobile where I can only see custom emoji; no smileys or thumbs up. Others on my team are as well

  Anyone who would help with automatically publishing Markdown documents from merged @github pull request to @SlackHQ in a form of a PDF? Tried to @zapier around it, but got stuck on getting the updated file from GitHub...

  @SlackHQ I won't use your service or product as long as it's advertised on #BigTech platforms that censors American people. #BigTechCensorship #DrainTheTwitter

  @terminalfix @SlackHQ Yes, seems Slack is down

  @Something915 @SlackHQ Same issue here. Android 10. Reset cache doesn't help. Just started yesterday I think.

  @0xfraq @SlackHQ Everyone in my sphere wrote slackbots to implement HR policy. Sure, they kicked it down the road, and there's no "suspend" or "block" functionality, but it's hard to block people IRL (like in a real office) too. They should make @discourse for work.

  Ward (@superhabboboy) reported 34 minutes ago

  @Something915 @SlackHQ I have the same issue

• 
  Rob Huijben (@rhuijben) reported 34 minutes ago

  @SlackHQ Seems it was just a hiccup, a moment later everything looked fine again. Got a bit nervous after the issues last time. Thanks for the reply anyway.

  @jasongriffing @SlackHQ We need a new messaging and email manifesto. A global etiquette. It’s a cultural issue, not just a software one.

• 
  Stuart Herbert 🖤 (@stuherbert) reported 41 minutes ago

  @SlackHQ Having trouble editing messages, and getting blank screens similar to how the client was during your most recent outage.

• 
  mwanza (@mzauk) reported 42 minutes ago

  @SlackHQ one of my colleagues is experiencing issues making video calls. Audio is fine, however, when on a group call instead of seeing her all we see is a ‘glitchy scrambled’ screen. She is using MacOS ‘High Sierra’. Any suggestions?

• 
  Yoz Grahame (@yoz) reported 45 minutes ago

  @SlackHQ I strongly recommend making it easier to get out of that situation. The sign-in page took up the *entire* desktop app UI, which meant I couldn’t access my higher-priority workspaces (which were working fine) until I fixed this one unrelated problem.

• 
  Jason Griffing (@jasongriffing) reported 53 minutes ago

  @choiveer @SlackHQ There’s a sort of default assumption that we need to see and be notified about everything. Not unique to Slack. I’d love to see more focus from all software companies on tools to help me keep the noise down.

• 
  Yoz Grahame (@yoz) reported 54 minutes ago

  @riffraff814 @18F @SlackHQ Thank you! I wasn’t interpreting the “guest login” button properly. Went through forgotten password process (and 2FA), now fixed. :thumbs_up:

  Tony 🍷 (@TonyLe73) reported 56 minutes ago

  @SlackHQ I went in and changed notifications to receive all messages that are direct to me on mobile so hopefully fixes the problem
