-
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.
-
Cate @ツ Supercut + Tiramisù (@cate_anti) reported@SlackHQ where’s the little “Polish” button to fix my grammar before I hit send?
-
Jori Lallo (@jorilallo) reported@pizzaboy @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ It's still the same agent with capability to access everything as the caller user can. If you're calling it in the channel, it has that as context so it will file issue into the project by default and answer questions about the project without you needing to name it separately. If there's situatons where it's not working as intended, would love to get screenshots

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?

Jide (@rhymezx_code) reported@SlackHQ Tell me why Slack desktop is not working on Ubuntu 26.04 ( Resolute Raccoon ) ??? Honestly i have tried o #Ubuntu
-
Travis Peters (@SivvyRat) reported@SlackHQ You have no way to provide feedback within your app so... your snap installer has major issues.
-
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!

Ariel Sterman (@ArielSterman) reportedIs @SlackHQ down? heard it here first.

Akshay (✈️ NYC) (@AgentAkki) reported@kurushdubash @patriciosainzr @SlackHQ 👋I work at Slack. Could you share a screenshot or more details on what's not working?
-
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

Matthew Weissman (@MATTtheWEISS) reported@cjhuts @claudeai @SlackHQ Any service related ai platforms you would consider for your agency ? Or any ai platforms in general?
-
Deepak Jadhav (@jadhavdeepak93) reportedSometimes you slow things down on purpose to preserve coherence. Example: @SlackHQ shows typing indicators. Not because it must, but because humans need temporal context. Elevators do the same thing in spatial context.

AK (@MohschinoKhan) reported@daveamsterdam20 @SlackHQ Same issue here wtf is going on!! @SlackHQ

Steve Ferguson (@M66) reportedI 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.
-
heatherm.eth (@heathermhuang) reported@SlackHQ need urgent help our active Slack workspace suddenly got deleted.
-
Matt Makai | Full Stack Python | Plushcap (@fullstackpython) reportedHow is @SlackHQ’s video & audio file transcription still so inaccurate? Just use @AssemblyAI or give us an option to use a different provider rather the terrible model you’ve got. It’s frustrating to post a video and the default transcription subtitle is riddled with errors
-
duh (@qudnesa) reported@SlackHQ @question_base why not fix your own agent first?
-
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.
-
Brian (@talkerbrian) reportedWhy does @SlackHQ offer spell check without offering suggestions to fix basic typos?
-
Jason K (@ForceOfGrowth) reported@SlackHQ The amount of times on mac where I come to a computer and you just have the mic on is too high, even when not on a call... fix your app
-
Jon ShapeShift (@JonShapeShift) reported@lorenzodoteth @SlackHQ Having same issue, driving me nuts
-
mr.tipton (@mrtipton_art) reported@pizzaboy @SlackHQ Nah, I’m that guy. Gotta fix it
-
Tokyo (@ahmedtokyo) reportedThere’s this huge bug in slack where if you click on a draft message from your drafts on iPhone, Slack just fully deletes the draft message and opens an empty composer. This made me lose a lot of work. @SlackHQ you can fix this with claude. Just paste this tweet there.

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).

Tulip 🌷 ☮️ (@imTulip) reportedIs @SlackHQ down?
-
Nanda Kishore Kapa (@dunlop9) reported@SlackHQ This morning, I am not able to download files that were shared in slack. It appears to be a cloud issue. Can you look into it?
-
Stellar Material Solutions (@StellarMSllc) reportedIt sucks that @SlackHQ doesn’t support Apple Shortcuts. I’m not sure that that approach will slow down the development of personalized bots outside of Salesforce control.
