    @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.

  • BelmontJockey

    AVOID 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.

    @cjhuts @claudeai @SlackHQ Any service related ai platforms you would consider for your agency ? Or any ai platforms in general?

    I love when @SlackHQ offers a nominal discount for a paid service you already get included with @GoogleWorkspace and @Microsoft365. If your paying $12 a month for Slack, you still need the other. Stop being wasteful with Slack Pro.

    Hot 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.

    @SlackHQ just absolutely broken on web today?

    @SlackHQ We are having issues with sending or receiving messages on Slack. We have raised a ticket but no response from the Support team. It's been more than 48hours. We start work in a couple of hours!!

    @SlackHQ what's wrong with you? Why suddenly my account is showing deactivated and I can't even login back ?

    @SlackHQ down. What's next?

  • troy_ruediger
    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.

    @SlackHQ Can you help me with what suppose to happen when someone(s) does something like this to a person

    @AltKek420 @SlackHQ @salesforce Agreed! Is your company building software? I'm building a work messaging app purpose-built for software builders (engineers, ***, designers). Would you be open to a quick chat (or can I send a DM) about the problems you currently have with Slack?

  • EngrKebin
    Kevz (@EngrKebin) reported

    Is @SlackHQ slacking (pun intended) at the moment? App seems down. LOL

    @SlackHQ Anyone else having app problems on MacOS when you go to resize the window it moves it instead of sizing? Been like this for a month or more now!

    @yongfook Weird you had some many issues. My last few have gone really well. The most annoying app is @SlackHQ which sucks as it makes you log into each space again. Hopefully your next one goes better!

  • JEVANSCPM
    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)

  • 0xANDREAS
    asd (@0xANDREAS) reported

    @peduarte @SlackHQ Is that a problem? Companies need to have this access for compliance & legal reasons. Don’t assume anything private stays private if it’s shared over company platforms :)

  • kanute

    Thinking about ditching @SlackHQ just because unfurling sucks so bad. Seems like this has been an issue for years. Spent way too much time trying to get reliable unfurling when my @openclaw bot posts.

    Fwiw, I feel less productive when @googledocs is down and more productive when @SlackHQ is down. #googledocsdown

    @SlackHQ Oi are you guys crashing? Your app on windows is hella slow. Edit messages not working and reactions disappear/not working properly 🙉

    @chintanturakhia @linear @SlackHQ curious if you’ve played with n8n for this yet. feels like you could also auto-ship product ops stuff (daily product metrics to slack/notion, sync linear issues to gcal, kill manual status updates, etc.). tried anything like that?

    @mike_hasarms @SlackHQ Perhaps not but they’re being used that way (I’m in a few that I need to be in for work) and spam is a real problem. They should either force them to move elsewhere or offer spam moderation/ reporting tools. Status quo isn’t working.

  • 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?

    @Premauj @SlackHQ Classic Slack... Always buggy. Are you or your company building software? I'm building a work messaging app purpose-built for software-building companies. Would love a quick chat about the problems you or your company have with Slack!
