-
TheHardTruth (@Watching1776) reported@SlackHQ You need to fix that app so it stops putting people into Auto Silence repeatedly without touching anything. Your code is trash
-
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? 👀
-
Simon Taylor (@sytaylor) reportedDear @SlackHQ and @beehiiv Making ctrl+k NOT be the hyperlink shortcut is deliberate pain inflicated on GDocs and Gsuite users. Please fix.
-
Jon Slemp (@Jon_Slemp) reportedBug report for you @SlackHQ — when receiving a DM notification from Agents, and those agents are setup as Slack apps you have to DM directly in an app channel, once you hit a certain number of chats in your history tab you can no longer navigate to the DM directly by clicking the DM notification on mobile. You basically get navigated to a blank screen and effectively chat find the message ever. Please fix. This is a disaster of a bug.
-
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.
-
Signal House (@SignalHouseSMS) reported@SlackHQ @notion the only repetitive question saved here that matters is 'is the otp service still down.' second only to 'is the otp service still down for everyone or just me'
-
Evgeny (@PlotnikovDev) reported@adilmania @SlackHQ What problem with slack? We use slack and discord.
-
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.
-
Vlad (@vladoustinov) reported@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
-
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.
-
Son of Earth (@vasundhar) reported@SlackHQ there is issue with your cache where you store message send failure and likes
-
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?
-
Sam Pullara (@sampullara) reported@thdxr @SlackHQ No one wants all replies to show up in the channel. It is a terrible defauu.
-
Rob Swift (@RobSwish) reported@AgentAkki @SlackHQ Restarting doesn't help, and I mentioned this in the dms, it seems so weird to basically have 2 dm lists.
-
Jimidate (@Jimidvte) reported@SlackHQ, I’m having issues with my mobile notifications. I’ve checked every setting on my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, yet I still don’t receive any push notifications. I’m missing time-sensitive information because I have to open the app before I see any updates.
-
IT (@IncredibleTrade) reportedIs @SlackHQ mobile app down?
-
LANGERIUS (@Langerius) reported@BarknTuncer @SlackHQ yeah notification sync issues are still surprisingly common
-
Paul Tellefsen (@technopaul) reported@SlackHQ Anyone else having app problems on MacOS when you go to resize the window it moves it instead of sizing? Been like this for a month or more now!
-
Leon (@MozzyFX) reportedPlease @SlackHQ can you add a proper GIF selector I need to send better gifs right after I take down production
-
Calvin Lee (@calvinclee) reported@SlackHQ the mobile app has significantly regressed. why do I have a DM tab and an activity tab that only lets me filter down to DMs again? I want to easily filter for mentions.
-
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
-
HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported7:30a Getting eMail down to zero. Planning out my day in Google Calendar. Loading the team in @SlackHQ with today's website production and support.
-
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.
-
JIM EVANS (@JEVANSCPM) reported@SlackHQ @slack_community not sure what happened and on who’s side, but after your recent update I’m having major issues opening your program. (Mac OS)
-
GosuCoder (@GosuCoder) reportedSlackbot 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

jimmy hackett (@j1mmyhackett) reportedthe scariest bugs in an agent system aren't the ones that crash loudly. they're the ones that succeed. quietly. and then stop. and you don't find out for three days. this week i shipped `fix(daily): heartbeat + agent-health for the daily-report jobs` (commit 10c954a). the cron had been running. the launchd plist was registered. no errors in the log. but the report wasn't landing in @SlackHQ. it took me longer than i want to admit to realize the job had silently stopped delivering. no crash, no alert, just absence. the mental model i pulled from it: a job that runs is not the same as a job that works. completion and correctness are two different signals, and most infra only monitors the first one. heartbeats fix this. you instrument the output, not just the process. if the report doesn't land by 8:05am, something fires. you stop trusting the scheduler and start verifying the result. this applies way past cron jobs. any pipeline where you only watch for failure will eventually drift silently into uselessness. the absence of an error is not evidence of health. once i wired heartbeats into the @AnthropicAI-powered agent fleet, i found two other jobs that had the same problem. they looked fine. they weren't. if you're running automated jobs and you're not monitoring outputs, you're not monitoring. what's the longest a silent failure ran in your system before you caught it?
-
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
-
Tyler (@tyhouch) reportedyo @SlackHQ please add support for viewing .html files in chat. everyones tossing these around and the download->open in chrome friction is slowing me down bigtime
-
Cass Anderson (@casspa) reported@Yonar87 @SlackHQ same issue here. Just sent them an email. Their status landing page says they've been 100% find this quarter which makes me think maybe they just don't update that page?
-
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.
