trent.sol (@trentdotsol) reported@cavemanloverboy @alessandrod @SlackHQ i did. it's the ones who won't that are the problem
-
Brandon Karl Webster (@bkwebster) reported@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.
-
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
-
Asif (@asifmghafoor) reportedHi @SlackHQ out workspace (Spacious) has been deleted by mistake - no notification or emails or anything. We need this restored with history. Can someone please help? We have sent several support requests over the past few hours and no one has responded
-
Josh Jackson (@IamJoshJackson) reported@scott_peterson4 @SlackHQ I wonder if they intentionally don't fix it so you keep opening the app to try and clear it
-
Mike Rochefort 🐧 (@omenosdev) reported@SlackHQ I've sent a message in via the feedback address, but for 4.50.136 either there's been an undisclosed change of GPG keys used in signing Linux packages or the wrong key was used accidentally. For environments with strict package verification this leads to install errors.

Zach Bresler (@bresler_zach) reportedWhy has Apple changed the Mac screenshot file type… @claudeai, @ChatGPTapp and @SlackHQ are now giving issues with the HEIC format Please change it back to png
-
Barlow Buddy Barrier (@barrier_buddy) reported@SlackHQ @salesforce I literally have slack and use slack or all the time and it has no clue what this is or how to help
-
Karri Saarinen (@karrisaarinen) reported@gustaf @ycombinator @SlackHQ I’d say Slack. Haven’t really experienced those issues you mention. Unless my internet is very bad. iMessage/whatsapp overly phone and counterparty focused so I’m more often wondering if the message actually got delivered or not and if the problem is me or them. Slack is more of a server and it doesn’t send the message if it doesn’t work.

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

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?
-
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
-
Younes Aberkane (@Kamkom05) reportedhey @SlackHQ i'm trying to invite @linear agent to my discussion with "/invite @Linear" but everytime I press enter it prompt me to a dialog asking me to invite people and not showing linear agent. can you help out ?
-
kzer_AI (@kzer_ai) reported@OpenAI @linear @SlackHQ The agent that pulls context from docs, email, chats, and code to update your Linear ticket: "status: someone else's problem"
-
Matt Slotnick (@matt_slotnick) reportedhello @SlackHQ team there’s a very annoying bug that makes agents in slack significantly worse UX and is probably crushing engagement. can someone help
-
FCT (@fightcopytrolls) reportedFacepalm: @SlackHQ still uses crosswalks and motorcycles during login to annoy humans and entertain AI.
-
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
-
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.
-
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?
-
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.
-
Sen Yang (@undefined_blog) reportedour slack workspace has been deleted for no reason, no nofication nor verification, please reach out and help @SlackHQ
-
Douglas Liscano (@douglas2428) reported@MatthewAry @github @SlackHQ Yes, we have the same problem today
-
harjot.co (@harjjotsinghh) reported@SlackHQ Microsoft's lock-in betrays what AI can't fix alone
-
Ellen DaSilva (@ellenjdasilva) reportedSketchy behavior: Someone from @SlackHQ joined my company channel last week saying "we're here to help you with the product" (we're not having issues). Then today started pestering me about an overdue invoice (we don't have one). Beyond violating. Shameful behavior @salesforce.
-
Corey Quinn (@QuinnyPig) reported@samlambert @joshmgross It’s almost impossible to mention a bug in Slack and get anyone at @SlackHQ to fix it.
-
Kitayoshi (@kitayoshi_son) reported@alphato_o @SlackHQ Even a sticky banner hanging on the workspace saying “Your workspace will be shutting down” on the chat page would be better. They could even use the UI components for the 90-day limit. Today’s behavior makes it seem like they just don’t care.
-
OsMessi_10 (@h2030_huna) reported@SlackHQ Hi , is there an issue with slack ? As our data there has been deleted and kept only some of data . What is the backup plan for these deleted data ?
-
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 🫠
-
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.

mayberaigan (@mayberayyy) reported@SlackHQ your app notifications are glitching, please fix it
