Ouch. A large OpenStreetMap group has been using a proprietary chat platform as a community space for ~10 yrs. Now they gotta pay a $80k/yr (or $10k??) for usage. 🤯😱😢 Slack (now Salesforce) now wants to charge @OpenStreetMapUS for all ~6k users on their server. 😢😢 Ouch. This sort of bait & switch is why open, community owned platforms (like this!) are vital! read more on the slack (while you still can??!): https://osmus.slack.com/archives/C029HV951/p1705438543546349 #OpenStreetMap #OSM #FreeSoftware #Cassandra

I've given it a lot of time now, and for the record, I still despise the @SlackHQ interface changes. They have taken what used to be at-a-glance or at most 1-click and made it all 3-4 clicks and difficult to find. For no purpose other than "we could". 0 ⭐️ Do not recommend

Did #slack get rid of the ability to customise theme by Hex Code? Weirdly I can click "share" and get a copy of the hexcodes, but there's nowhere to set new ones that I can see? Every day Slack works further away from the independent non-corporate vibe we all used to appreciate.

I just remembered Slack supports sed-like syntax to edit a message. 🤯 For instance: /s/great/amazing/ would replace the word “great” by “amazing” in the last message. 🔥

Did you try the new huddle feature on @SlackHQ to get on a quick voice chat with someone? if they don't show up after a while, Slack plays a waiting music 🤣

TIL that if you hit @SlackHQ's conversations.create API fast enough you can create multiple Slack channels with the same name before the uniqueness validation kicks in

This is one of my pet peeves. I understand Slack doesn't really want free Slacks to exist, but having them be so bad harms the brand in general. Like I associate Slack with screwing over communities.

How is it 2021 and #Slack's Android app doesn't open links to Slack? So frustrating not being able to follow a link from someone!

It’s worth noting this works only at the highest enterprise tier. And even then only via data dump API call not in the app (last I knew). Still important for people to know of course but don’t want to scare anyone unduly!

doing an @ everyone in a slack channel with over 5000 people should be grounds for having your hard drive confiscated tbh

Slack really needs a feature where when someone posts (at)channel, it just shuts their PC down for a little while so they can think about what they've done
