Liger Wealth Management (@kanute) reportedThinking 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.
-
Evan Oslick (@eoslick) reportedAnyone know how to gert @SlackHQ support? I've got a bit of a lingering issue that I'm not sure how do deal with due to ownership of Slack deployment.
-
Alain テスラ ヘルシオ (@aquamarineB788) reported@SlackHQ what is wrong with u? I’m telling you change email because my company domain changed; it’s asking me to confirm new address, when i click on email, it wants me to login again, new address doesn’t work, with new address you’re SMS says too many attempts. Why do have to make this so difficult? I don’t like to waste my time.

Jon ShapeShift (@JonShapeShift) reported@lorenzodoteth @SlackHQ Having same issue, driving me nuts
-
Ari Dehkordi (@arashdehkordiHQ) reported@karrisaarinen @SlackHQ Did Linear do this before agents? I tried project-level Slack channels at my org and found it works for enterprise engagements nicely, but breaks down at feature/epic level projects for our SaaS. There's a granularity sweet spot, too fine and context switching costs spike. Too coarse and projects blur. Plus no project is actually isolated in small teams, so cross-project conversations forced more people onto each channel and productive engagement suffered. I get the AI context-confinement angle, but curious what other benefits you're seeing?

Mehmet Ali (@immehmetali) reported@SlackHQ Context is necessary but not sufficient. The real bottleneck is decision architecture: knowing when to retrieve, when to reason, and when to act. More context doesn't fix a broken agent loop.
-
Noah Levin (@nlevin) reported@SlackHQ mobile unread state bugs continue to be quite a painful and frustrating issue… plz fix 🙏
-
Manoj Yadav (@Manoj____Yadav) reported@TheNickBigar @CricTalk29 @SlackHQ No it doesn’t track time, you need to tell the time spent via message. Example- worked on X for 30 mins - remind me about checking the production issue around 3 pm The idea is to reduce friction for users on how they track time and tasks

Jide (@rhymezx_code) reported@SlackHQ Tell me why Slack desktop is not working on Ubuntu 26.04 ( Resolute Raccoon ) ??? Honestly i have tried o

-
Akshay (✈️ NYC) (@AgentAkki) reported@RobSwish @SlackHQ Does restarting the app fix it?
-
Karri Saarinen (@karrisaarinen) reported@gustaf @ycombinator @SlackHQ What is degrading? WhatsApp imo is not a good example. Can’t even hold login on a desktop, and have to auth with your phone. Sync not super reliable either
-
Evgeny (@PlotnikovDev) reported@adilmania @SlackHQ What problem with slack? We use slack and discord.
-
Leon (@MozzyFX) reportedPlease @SlackHQ can you add a proper GIF selector I need to send better gifs right after I take down production
-
Dan Mazy (@danmazy1) reported@SlackHQ I’m the Primary Owner of my company workspace & completely locked out. Lost 2FA phone number + original email is dead. No backup codes. Submitted a ticket but need help ASAP — my team is stuck. Please DM me 🙏 #SlackSupport
-
Travis Peters (@SivvyRat) reported@SlackHQ You have no way to provide feedback within your app so... your snap installer has major issues.
-
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? 🤔
-
Rushabh Shah (@beingrushabh07) reportedHi @SlackHQ, I’ve been unable to launch or load the iOS app for the past few hours. I have already tried logging out and back in, as well as a full uninstall and reinstall, but the issue persists. This is significantly impacting my work could you please look into this?
-
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.

Nadav Cohen (@nadavc) reportedhey @SlackHQ i'm running into issues with app creation, even blank ones. can you pls take a look?
-
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

-
Taksh Shah (@takshshahh) reportedSomeone at @SlackHQ needs to fix how they deal with markdown. Its markdown but not really? Pasting stuff from elsewhere sometimes preserves formatting, sometimes doesnt? I had to do workarounds when working with API, but pasting content from claude in the messagebox is terrible
-
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

Hamid Ali (@HamidAli) reportedUh is @SlackHQ having issues…? 👀 #Slack

Ken Liao (@YukanL) reportedIt'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?
