y - alex ⚔️ (@onelonesabre) reported@SlackHQ @question_base can't use these features when your app is down my friend

Cass Anderson (@casspa) reported@Yonar87 @SlackHQ same issue here. Just sent them an email. Their status landing page says they've been 100% find this quarter which makes me think maybe they just don't update that page?
-
Awais alwaisy (@alvaisy) reported@adilmania @SlackHQ what's wrong with slack. bunch of alternatives. each one made money. slack is still stable and useful. i don't have any issue with slakc except limited message history for free users
-
Slavko Kovačević (@realslavko) reported@SlackHQ Fix notifications first
-
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.
-
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)
-
LoopGantt (@loopgantt) reported@NotionHQ @SlackHQ Channel-scoped agents fix the biggest AI rollout blocker — broad access feels risky to admins. Smart default.
-
Giuseppe Skyline (@giskyexplorer) reported@gustaf @SlackHQ Notifications are the bandaid for broken reliability. WhatsApp stays quiet because it works.
-
Kleptocracy (@lfdoyfydoydtd) reported@salesforce @SlackHQ Instead of buying other crappy software companies, create the best sales rep. SFDC 1.0>2.0>3.0... ITS ALL SO BROKEN. Broken company that had a chance to replace salespeople but didn’t use the data and systems they already had to make it happen with agents. WTF is agentforce?

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.

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.
-
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 🫠

Tony Dehnke - building 12v.Biz 🧰 & more (@tonydehnke) reported@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!
-
RyanMeyer (@RyanDMeyer) reported@jedcli @SlackHQ HK company, US billing. suddenly shut off and Slack has zero customer service. No phone number, no live chat, nothing... submit an email and wait and pray apparently. What ********.
-
Gap | Suby (@gaspardlezin) reportedCan someone please buy @SlackHQ and shut it down? This platform is horrible.
-
Andrew "Oyl" Miller (@oylmiller) reported@SlackHQ help me Beastbot, you're our only hope
-
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
-
Riley Read-Only (@HotForMoot) reportedCmon @SlackHQ help the tfr
-
Anmol (@anmolarora_tw) reportedNot sure if it’s just me but uploading images on Slack has been super slow and there’s no progress shown and no clue what’s happening. At least a small progress bar would help. @SlackHQ
-
Dan (@pizzaboy) reported@karrisaarinen @SlackHQ Hey @karrisaarinen are the new project slack channels scoped to just that project I.e if you use the Linear slack bot in the channel will it only have access to issues and data from that project? I found that to be an issue a couple of months ago that the bot wasn’t able to be scoped down? Or was this a skill issue on my end
-
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).
-
rushikesh (@ivadapav) reported@SlackHQ down. What's next?
-
Corey Quinn (@QuinnyPig) reported@samlambert @joshmgross It’s almost impossible to mention a bug in Slack and get anyone at @SlackHQ to fix it.
-
Brad Beckett (@bradbeckett) reportedWith how much sensitive data @SlackHQ stores, it's surprising they don't yet support Passkey login or have a BIMI email verification certificate so their legitimate emails get a blue verified check mark in major email service providers. @digicert pls reach out to them!
-
josh (@JoshCaughtFire) reported@peduarte @SlackHQ I like how the proposed community note is like ‘no they can’t’ then you read the slack docs and there is a self service export tool for org owners
-
FCT (@fightcopytrolls) reportedFacepalm: @SlackHQ still uses crosswalks and motorcycles during login to annoy humans and entertain AI.
-
Ekim (@mikvjpev) reported@RealFeatBit @SlackHQ Have the same issues. Our workspace doesnt exist anymore
-
Steini (@67steinip) reported@kitayoshi_son @SlackHQ We've sent 2 emails so far nothing, they arent going to respond to you because this is a MASS event, you arent alone, we didnt even get the email people talk about and some others say that as well, we just got wiped. I don't think they will help you.
-
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.
-
Pavan Pal (@Pavan_Kumar_Pal) reported@SlackHQ Always good to see Slack doubling down on productivity, not noise.
