  @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

  @TejasKumar_ @SlackHQ Yes 👏 The issue with this (and all things like it) for me is that there seems to be some idea that anyone sees "AI" and immediately associates that with some value. What user pain of mine are you solving? I literally do not care if you are using AI or not to solve it, I just want the best experience. Explore AI as a cta is a waste of space and my mental energy

  @thdxr @SlackHQ What's the problem?

  @SlackHQ your headphone icon on huddles is a huge annoyance and an invasion of privacy for everyone. Users can turn it off but there should be the ability to shut this down for the whole workspace. We really don't need to know who is talking with whom at any one time.

  There’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.

  @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.

  Someone at @SlackHQ needs to fix how they deal with markdown. Its markdown but not really? Pasting stuff from elsewhere sometimes preserves formatting, sometimes doesnt? I had to do workarounds when working with API, but pasting content from claude in the messagebox is terrible

  @thdxr @SlackHQ unbelievable right? terrible ux

  Dan Mazy (@danmazy1) reported 20 minutes ago

  @SlackHQ I'm the sole owner of a paid workspace. Changed my number + email, so recovery doesn't work. I can verify via billing/credit card. Support can't help. Can't log in, can't add employees. There has to be a manual verification process. Please escalate.

  Our community slack channel with 1800 active members have been affected by the massive channel delete from Slack, we have tried to email them, call them but received no helpful support for a week. @SlackHQ Really appreciate if anyone could help bring our community back 🙏🙏🙏

  8:30a Back at my desk, loading the team up in @SlackHQ with today's assignment, getting eMail down to zero.

  @SlackHQ The new Activity view is an amazing improvement. One thing that would make it better: the same thread can appear multiple times (for example the original post and a reply). It would help to allow deduplicating threads from the list.

  @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.

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

  Is @SlackHQ mobile app down?

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

  @SlackHQ you have a degradation rn? unable to create channels and getting intermittent issues with events

• 
  Ken Liao (@YukanL) reported 42 minutes ago

  It'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?

  Thinking 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.

  @AgentAkki @SlackHQ Restarting doesn't help, and I mentioned this in the dms, it seems so weird to basically have 2 dm lists.

  Please @SlackHQ can you add a proper GIF selector I need to send better gifs right after I take down production

  🚨 @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

  @pizzaboy @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ Then "project channel" is a default, not a scope. The issue list command still follows the caller's workspace visibility.

  Ari Dehkordi (@arashdehkordiHQ) reported 1 hour ago

  @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?
