    first you need to fix the rate limits @SlackHQ

  • ellenjdasilva
    Ellen DaSilva (@ellenjdasilva) reported

    Sketchy 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.

    @daniielezeh @SlackHQ Bruhhh, valid question 😭 I've been having issues with the ******* video playback. I didn't even know it was possible to have worse video playback than twitter.

    @SlackHQ @question_base can't use these features when your app is down my friend

  • SilchQuatch
    Björne 🇸🇪🏋️‍♂️ (@SilchQuatch) reported

    @QuinnyPig @SlackHQ Every single unwarranted notification births months of hate inside of me. Literally anti-ads for me, any pattern of it and I immediately remove the service. I guess it has to work or it wouldn't be done?

  • dbrogdon
    Darrell Brogdon (@dbrogdon) reported

    Yesterday I signed up for a service. Today, all my @SlackHQ had a notification asking if I wanted to connect some bot of that service to my Slack accounts. One thing has nothing to do with the other, as far as I'm concern. If this keeps up, I'll delete all of my Slack accounts.

    @SlackHQ why is there no obvious way to join a channel in Slack? Seems like a huge usability problem, the + sign next to channels creates a channel, but joining one is very elusive

  • Watching1776
    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

  • YouPulseX
    Paul Sant · Telecodex (@YouPulseX) reported

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

  • ImagineArt_X
    ImagineArt (@ImagineArt_X) reported

    @SlackHQ @SlackHQ cute, but can you fix the "copying emojis from slack to somewhere else please"

  • nexgencoded
    Sammie (@nexgencoded) reported

    @SlackHQ really said what if your coworker wasn't annoying enough?? now you can add an AI coding agent to the group chat @Claude fix this 30 seconds later claude: PR opened greg from accounting: why is there a PR claude: I have no idea who Greg is....

  • gustaf
    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.

    can someone at @SlackHQ please for the love of god fix drag and drop to attach a file? how has this been an issue for months without anyone realizing? Steps to reproduce: Drag file to attach. Nothing happens. no file attached.

  • FluorineHQ
    Fluorine (@FluorineHQ) reported

    @gustaf @SlackHQ Reliability is the floor, not the ceiling. Slack hit the floor and is now adding notification noise to mask it — classic engagement-metric trap. The deeper issue: messaging apps stopped being where work happens and became where work gets talked about. That's the gap worth solving.

    @thdxr @SlackHQ It’s always weird that you cannot actively reply to messages on Slack. The experience feels broken.

  • kurushdubash
    Kurush Dubash (@kurushdubash) reported

    @SlackHQ can you please revert your most recent update, it is so bad. This is terrible for anyone who is inbox 0. Please don't make me use Teams

  • ravilutionx
    Ravi (@ravilutionx) reported

    @SlackHQ @trq212 And a verbosity problem

  • FredsDaily
    HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported

    7:30a Getting email down to zero and loading both the website support and production teams in @SlackHQ.

  • PlotnikovDev
    Evgeny (@PlotnikovDev) reported

    @adilmania @SlackHQ What problem with slack? We use slack and discord.

  • theodormarcu
    Theodor Marcu (@theodormarcu) reported

    Putting an agent in Slack creates a very different type of UX problem: it has to know when to shut up We spent a lot of time tuning when Devin should speak, stay quiet, or move work into a separate channel. Devin was the first agent to support Slack natively, so it was great to bring 2 years of those learnings to @SlackHQ for the Slack Code launch.

  • AgentAkki
    Akshay (✈️ NYC) (@AgentAkki) reported

    @kurushdubash @patriciosainzr @SlackHQ 👋I work at Slack. Could you share a screenshot or more details on what's not working?

  • Domino_mys
    Domino Mysłowski (@Domino_mys) reported

    There was Pay by Eye, by Ring, by Watch… time to Pay by Juice? 🧃💳 Okay, this one was just a joke created by Callum (FrostyTrollz). But 10 years ago, paying with your watch or ring also sounded ridiculous. A great example of how today’s joke can become tomorrow’s product is.. @SlackHQ The team behind Slack was actually building an online game called Glitch. As the founders later mentioned: “The game was absolutely preposterous.” Eventually, the game failed and was shut down. However, the internal chat tool they built to communicate became more valuable than the game itself. That tool became Slack, now used by millions of teams. 🌱 Follow for more wild growth-hacks

    Claude is the best corporate CYA buddy I used to have full CYA files with records of messages, emails and things I did - I was terrible at keeping those and people took advantage of that. With Claude and @meetgranola - I have canonical record of all conversations, @SlackHQ messages, emails, canonical decisions - everything Oh, you say I didnt do something? I didnt respond? Here come the receipts

  • karrisaarinen
    Karri Saarinen (@karrisaarinen) reported

    @gustaf @ycombinator @SlackHQ What is degrading? WhatsApp imo is not a good example. Can’t even hold login on a desktop, and have to auth with your phone. Sync not super reliable either

  • RobSwish
    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.

    @thdxr @SlackHQ unbelievable right? terrible ux

  • alexei_sid
    Alex Sidorenko (@alexei_sid) reported

    @Moore_Irish @salesforce @SlackHQ Pricing changes that reduce admin control while pushing AI features rarely improve outcomes. The real test: does the AI actually help teams make faster, better decisions, or is it just another feature tax masquerading as innovation?

  • FredsDaily
    HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported

    6:30a Got eMail down to zero, and started the team with assignments in @SlackHQ.

    @SlackHQ One recent Slack regression: If you edit a post that contains a link, the link preview disappears. Please fix this 🙏

    @SlackHQ @stewart Stewart Butterfield and his team were developing a game called "Glitch" in 2011 The Glitch was an ambitious and creative multiplayer game, but it struggled to find a large enough playerbase. They had to shut it down on 2012
