But why? It seems that Stride is trying to be the more productive version of Slack, and I think action items and decision notes have potential, but if I keep getting :partyparrot: instead of information related to my job, I'm going to keep basically ignoring my communications app.
- therealmarv 9y agothere are jobs out there where you can also have fun, also in chat. Just saying...
- BartSaM 9y agoAfaik there are enough chats that cater for that. I understand emojis, but gif support is not necessary for a business chat app. At least not in all of them.
- croon 9y agoI'm unsure if that's a system problem or if [team member] can ruin any medium. I don't mind planning poker cards having the coffee mug, or the occasional friday afternoon song playing out the speakers, etc, as long as there is a social contract where everyone respects moderation.
- rtpg 9y agoDefinitely agree that people cause issues in communication. Tools can encourage good behaviour and discourage bad behavior though. I've found that GIFs end up being a bit too far down the "pop culture" spectrum to be worth having in Slack, for example. Net negative for comfortable communication when not everyone is on the same meme spectrum
- tootie 9y agoGif integration is key to team productivity.
- pavel_lishin 9y ago> Giphy support I will come down hard on anyone in a room that just starts hunting for a magically relevant giphy gif by spamming the room. Fuck Giphy and their irrelevant search results, but fuck even harder people who love to dilute the signal-to-noise ratio.
