    @AmenaiSabuwala @SlackHQ This must be ragebait, right? You redesigned a Splash Screen into a login screen, those are separate things.

    @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

    How 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

    Hot take for the AI founders knocking @SlackHQ: Slack doesn’t have a “communication problem.” Teams do. Most “ignored messages” aren’t about noise, attention spans, or channel chaos. It’s because Slack messages have zero structure. No timing. No follow-through. No visibility. Just text thrown into the void and a prayer. The second you add structure — forms, confirmations, simple logic — everything changes. People actually respond. Leaders stop guessing. Teams stop resending the same message 12 times. Slack doesn’t need fewer messages. It needs smarter ones. That’s what we’re building with @TryThreadly.

    @peduarte @SlackHQ I like how the proposed community note is like ‘no they can’t’ then you read the slack docs and there is a self service export tool for org owners

    New Slack Design is terrible. @SlackHQ can I revert to a previous version just a few updates from this one!

    ,@SlackHQ is clearly broken at least on mobile this morning. Maybe if they were using AgentForce like all the ads were saying it’d already be fixed or at least the status page would be accurate. 😤

    @AltKek420 @SlackHQ @salesforce 1. Are you using Slack or Teams? 2. What size company do you work for? 3. What are the main problems you face with Slack? 4. What is a recent bad experience you had with Slack? 5. Would you be open for design partnership to build with us our product to address your needs?

    Anyone 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.

    @SlackHQ @github When I click "Connect GitHub account" from within Slack, the window that opens only tells me an error: "Error: The time window to connect your GitHub account has expired. Please return to Slack to re-start the process of connecting your GitHub account."

    @Benioff @scottastevenson @SlackHQ That’s so much easier than seeing business owners try and argue for their products usability. Could very well be user error but irrelevant after this approach. Both sides on the same team working to make things better. Very smooth MB.

    @SlackHQ Most AI agents fail because they’re written by bloated enterprise teams who don’t really know what problem they’re solving.

    @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.

  • dunlop9
    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?

  • 202409R
    miya (@202409R) reported

    @ManusAI @SlackHQ This kind of UX that charges users instantly without a clear confirmation step is unacceptable. @ManusAI please fix this and issue a refund. Users should NOT be charged $394 by mistake.

  • BelmontJockey
    New Chapter Reprise Inigo Montoya (@BelmontJockey) reported

    AVOID using @SlackHQ at all costs. The UI is TERRIBLE. I get random notifications under "Activity" and it is impossible to find. So there is a red bubble notification that will never goes away. It happens all of the time. FREAKING TERRIBLE! Impossible to track down.

    @SlackHQ Oi are you guys crashing? Your app on windows is hella slow. Edit messages not working and reactions disappear/not working properly 🙉

    @NotionHQ @SlackHQ Channel-scoped agents fix the biggest AI rollout blocker — broad access feels risky to admins. Smart default.

  • rebeurebel
    Lalbee (@rebeurebel) reported

    @SlackHQ you guys are mental. You barely warn your users about migration and delete 20% of your slack active orgs without repeated warnings? You guys think everyone reads your cute email newsletters? What about BIG RED WARNINGS daily on the slack app itself? Ridiculous. Please help us get our accounts back.

    @samhenrigold So good. I wish this was accounted for when opening Spotlight from the Home Screen so they were distinct, that’s the only reason I don’t unless I have two sets (which do account for each other). Also lol @ @SlackHQ having an old Siri Shortcut donation whose image is broken

    @ibuildthecloud @jarredsumner @SlackHQ Slack is still probably a rounding error on Salesforce's balance sheet. I doubt the acquisition happened because of how profitable they could be. So idk

    @SlackHQ, having trouble loading your desktop app on IOS. Your status page is not updated yet.

    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.
