hey everyone did you know you can try slack pro for free?
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??!): http://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
The new Slack UI still pisses me off daily!
I still hate the new Slack UI.
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.
Slack tip: ⌘⇧S (command shift s) expands the workplace switcher to a dedicated column. Allows you to see which workspace has new activity without needing to tap to expand the list first. h/t @anderseknert@hachyderm.io #Slack #proTip

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. 🔥Kitty Giraudel (@KittyGiraudel)Thu, 03 Nov 2022 14:48 GMT

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 🤣Nicolas Grenié (@picsoung)Wed, 02 Feb 2022 21:33 GMT
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 inWillman (@willmanduffy)Tue, 01 Feb 2022 21:50 GMT
We’ve got a Slack channel for everything at Monzo. To name a few, there’s the important ones like ‘Diversity & Inclusion,’ ‘Announcements’ and one literally called ‘Important.’

Don’t forget the new emoji channel, which pings every time someone creates a new slack emoji

Few people understand that Twitter is the general Slack channel for everyone in tech.

An interesting read - I'm not quite sure about everything, but there's some good stuff in here, and it's good to have a fresh perspective
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.

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

Usually I send nudge messages to tell people, but I like this idea way more 😂
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
