    @adilmania @SlackHQ Better alternatives exist - it’s used abundantly because of the mindshare and scale. The only replacement would be a totally new and obvious form factor that leads to the same outcome in a better way - not a better alternative to the same problem.

    @SlackHQ issues connecting to a new workspace. Where can I get support?

  • grinich
    Michael Grinich (@grinich) reported

    @SlackHQ Please fix the rate limits. The current Slack API is practically useless since you reduced them.

  • FluorineHQ

    @gustaf @SlackHQ Reliability is the floor, not the ceiling. Slack hit the floor and is now adding notification noise to mask it — classic engagement-metric trap. The deeper issue: messaging apps stopped being where work happens and became where work gets talked about. That's the gap worth solving.

    @OpenAIDevs @googledrive @SlackHQ Can we fix Codex.... When it does a context automatically compacted it stops what its doing

    Slackbot legit might be one of my favorite uses of AI outside of coding. I use this thing constantly to find past conversations, summarize entire chats, help write responses, look for things I might be forgetting, or even look up past context on a decision or topic. Seriously @SlackHQ this legit improves my life

    @MerlinEgalite @SlackHQ The problem is they gave up on product a long time ago haha But yes embedding tools/workflows inside interfaces people are already used to use (slack/email/Notion etc) is the way to go

    @ferran9908 @SlackHQ Alas, this one is broken on desktop 😭 Every time a user responds, it disappears.

    @samlambert @joshmgross It’s almost impossible to mention a bug in Slack and get anyone at @SlackHQ to fix it.

    @SlackHQ One recent Slack regression: If you edit a post that contains a link, the link preview disappears. Please fix this 🙏

    6a Getting eMail down to zero, loading up the team is @SlackHQ. Planning the day, so I can work the plan.

    .@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?

    @peduarte Yes @SlackHQ messed something up recently. Search is terrible now.

    .@SlackHQ and @Jira have the weirdest integration possible. Have spent the last 15 mins trying to remove jira app from Slack, but unable to. Can someone more knowledgeable help?

    @SlackHQ @question_base why not fix your own agent first?

  • alexei_sid

    @Moore_Irish @salesforce @SlackHQ Pricing changes that reduce admin control while pushing AI features rarely improve outcomes. The real test: does the AI actually help teams make faster, better decisions, or is it just another feature tax masquerading as innovation?

  • merklejosh
    JM (@merklejosh) reported

    @SlackHQ There seems to be a bug in your Version 4.50.140 app (Mac) where if you have open a New message and you try to then click in the Search bar, you can't – it just flashes. Can you please fix this. It's very annoying. Thanks!

    Is @SlackHQ broken today - I am using Focus mode - seems like the emoticons are breaking.

  • SeattleViewHome

    @MadronaVentures @SlackHQ @salesforce Should we expect investment & AI to be doubling down on the green economy now that no one credible is promoting the fossil fuel/engineered obsolescence economies to be sustainable or even beneficial?

  • humbledshuttler

    @SlackHQ please fix huddles on android.

  • neilsuperduper
    Neil Chudleigh (@neilsuperduper) reported

    .@SlackHQ this message pops whenever i try to do any navigation. persists across restarts. also please fix the search results ↓ keypress issue, the first ↓ is being eaten by the system so when I am moving fast I am constantly going to the wrong place you need to make sure bugs like this dont continue, you have serious competition coming that is going to take business from you if you continue to let your product rot.

    Its really disappointing that @SlackHQ status page suggests its up, when it's clearly down and you can get up to date status from X users who are reporting the same issues.

    @SlackHQ @vercel debugging a broken deployment directly from a chat thread is actually beautiful.

  • arashdehkordiHQ
    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?

    6:30a Got eMail down to zero, and started the team with assignments in @SlackHQ.

    @hugorcd @SlackHQ @github It has been broken for so long they probably think it's a feature internally

    @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

  • gustaf
    Gustaf Alströmer (@gustaf) reported

    @karrisaarinen @ycombinator @SlackHQ I'm experiencing reliability issues with Slack. Message's aren't sent. Messages can't be deleted. App not loading properly. I haven't had any of those issues with Whatsapp ever to be honest. Messages on iPhone is even worse. It's nearly unusable for me.
