Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Stache (@stacheFonzi) reportedIt's from 2011, but I still miss Glitch. It was a browser based MMO based on collecting and crafting. Crazily enough it was made by the company that went on to rebrand and make @SlackHQ. The messaging system in the game became the basis for Slack.
-
Sophia Yen MD (@teenmd) reported.@SlackHQ Why don't you have human service agents? You are a GIANT company used by many. The only contact us is via a webform?
-
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?
-
Giuseppe Skyline (@giskyexplorer) reported@gustaf @SlackHQ Notifications are the bandaid for broken reliability. WhatsApp stays quiet because it works.
-
LANGERIUS (@Langerius) reported@BarknTuncer @SlackHQ yeah notification sync issues are still surprisingly common
-
Dog (@coinandcrypto) reported@SlackHQ Most AI agents fail because they’re written by bloated enterprise teams who don’t really know what problem they’re solving.
-
Antonio Ventre (@antonioventre_) reported@resulvol @RealFeatBit @SlackHQ Sure guys anyone who need help can text be and they’ll restore your access for 30 days so you can still work on the account while the migrate
-
Andreas Elia (@digitalandreas) reported@cyberomin @SlackHQ Just to name a few: - Randomly opening channels a few miles up in the chat so I have to go all the way back down again - Right-click context menus are all over the place and inconsistent - Ghost notifications that show up randomly with no notification to go alongside them
-
Rodrigo Berriel (@rodrigoberriel) reported@thdxr @SlackHQ unbelievable right? terrible ux
-
Jordy.app (@Jordy_vD_) reported. @SlackHQ slack gets a lot of things right, but the iOS app’s search functionality is very bad. Can I please chat with someone who can then hopefully fix it?
-
Luigi ➔ nora.finance (@luigiremor) reported@discord @beeper I think I won't have this issue with @SlackHQ...
-
Peval 🇮🇹 🇪🇺 🇬🇧🏳️🌈 (@jabawack81) reported@gabsmashh Once nearly turned down a job interview because the invite came through @MicrosoftTeams. Spent the whole call trying to casually work out if they used @SlackHQ instead. They did.
-
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? 👀
-
Code Guru 🌞 (@hicodeguru) reportedhey @SlackHQ even after an year this issue still there i cant hear voice of joined person - he drops it and then rejoin - now it works and the new ui for start hudle - not good, extra clicks :( sometime i forgot to actually start
-
Corey Quinn (@QuinnyPig) reported@samlambert @joshmgross It’s almost impossible to mention a bug in Slack and get anyone at @SlackHQ to fix it.
-
Darcy (@darcy_jpa) reported@SlackHQ @linear @cursor_ai Slack is a garbage product. Everything about it is trash. The reliability is trash, the support is trash, and the way you handle users is absolute trash. Impressive how consistently terrible you manage to be.
-
The Mishmash Cat (@TheMishmashCat) reported[1/5] Your #brain cannot multithread. When you switch from writing code to answering a @SlackHQ ping, your prefrontal cortex doesn't execute a clean parallel jump - it triggers an expensive, messy tear-down and rebuild process. You are burning raw compute.
-
Ravi (@ravilutionx) reported@SlackHQ @trq212 And a verbosity problem
-
Tabish (@todotodo17731) reported@SlackHQ please improve your Software... 70-80% time we face audio issue.. I think your Software in not production Ready... Why ******* companies using such Software... Hello hwllo Hello .. *******... M I Audioable.... Hello can u hear me.
-
M. Yahia (@maddada) reported@aaditsh @adilmania @SlackHQ Same, it's 10 times better than discord, teams, hangout, zoom, etc. Not sure about newer apps but I literally have 0 issues with slack. It's really good with connect too if you work with external companies, beats email by light years.
-
Mohi (@disismohi) reported@SlackHQ: 40% less merge queue time, CI type-checking down from 7.5 minutes to 1.25 minutes. Canva: 58s to first error in the editor down to 4.8s.
-
Travis Peters (@SivvyRat) reported@SlackHQ You have no way to provide feedback within your app so... your snap installer has major issues.
-
AK (@MohschinoKhan) reported@daveamsterdam20 @SlackHQ Same issue here wtf is going on!! @SlackHQ
-
Domino Mysłowski (@Domino_mys) reportedThere was Pay by Eye, by Ring, by Watch… time to Pay by Juice? 🧃💳 Okay, this one was just a joke created by Callum (FrostyTrollz). But 10 years ago, paying with your watch or ring also sounded ridiculous. A great example of how today’s joke can become tomorrow’s product is.. @SlackHQ The team behind Slack was actually building an online game called Glitch. As the founders later mentioned: “The game was absolutely preposterous.” Eventually, the game failed and was shut down. However, the internal chat tool they built to communicate became more valuable than the game itself. That tool became Slack, now used by millions of teams. 🌱 Follow for more wild growth-hacks

SGN (@SGN06380601) reported@SlackHQ i need customer service help and am not getting a response from your agentforce. can you please help?
-
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.

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.

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 🫠

Paul Thornton (@Fusspawn) reported@SlackHQ @dorukkavcioglu I miss the old glitch game, had fun with some of your old founders in that :(
-
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
