Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Zev Zoldan (@ZevZoldan) reportedHot 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.

Jon "JonnyRingo" Williams ⓐ (@JonnyRingo711) reportedPretty please @SlackHQ stop making me find the channel again when I reopen the mobile app. I love you but it's terrible UX to have to find the channel everytime close my phone.

Deepak Jadhav (@jadhavdeepak93) reportedSometimes you slow things down on purpose to preserve coherence. Example: @SlackHQ shows typing indicators. Not because it must, but because humans need temporal context. Elevators do the same thing in spatial context.

Alain テスラ ヘルシオ (@aquamarineB788) reported@SlackHQ what is wrong with u? I’m telling you change email because my company domain changed; it’s asking me to confirm new address, when i click on email, it wants me to login again, new address doesn’t work, with new address you’re SMS says too many attempts. Why do have to make this so difficult? I don’t like to waste my time.

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?

Yariv Ashkenazy (@YarivAshkenazy) reported@AltKek420 @SlackHQ @salesforce Agreed! Is your company building software? I'm building a work messaging app purpose-built for software builders (engineers, ***, designers). Would you be open to a quick chat (or can I send a DM) about the problems you currently have with Slack?

Nathan (@Nathan_Bliss) reported@SlackHQ, having trouble loading your desktop app on IOS. Your status page is not updated yet.

Tokyo (@ahmedtokyo) reportedThere’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.

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?
