On one hand, you're completely right, on the other, I wish I could block all GIFs from Slack (or just not get notified about them). That kind of thing doesn't help me get work done, which is what I'm at work to do - not to share funny pictures.
- thomastuts 11y agoThat seems more like a Slack setup issue than an issue with Slack itself, to be honest. We have a separate #random channel for stuff like that and have turned off notifications for it. It's still there, but it's much less intrusive. You might also want to check out the settings in the Messages & Media section, specifically "Expand links to images, video and audio from external sources". That might help to disable the inline GIFs, although I haven't tried it myself.
- danpalmer 11y agoYeah of course, blocking gifs is entirely reasonable. However the rich media and ease of use is well worth the money to us. If we were a company of only developers then maybe IRC would suit us better.
