What backup methods of communication are distributed teams using when Slack goes down?
- cagrimmett 8y agoMy team uses Voxer threads as backup during times like this. We also use Voxer when it takes too long to type explanations out on Slack.
- dev360 8y agoMessage in a bottle
- geerlingguy 8y agoEmail, if it's actually important. Then if emergency, you can always hop on IRC, Skype, Messages/SMS, etc.
- jekrb 8y agoSecure Scuttlebutt
- philg_jr 8y agoIPoAC (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1149 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1149)
- neuromantik8086 8y agoMy group uses Roman fire signals [1]. [1] http://www.romanobritain.org/8-military/mil_signalling_systems.htm http://www.romanobritain.org/8-military/mil_signalling_syste...
- rinchik 8y agothis is a greatly underrated comment.
- gtsteve 8y agoAll my team also uses Zoom, so we just switch to a group on Zoom when Slack goes down. It's not quite as nice as Slack but it gets the job done.
- popularextasy 8y agoRocketChat - Self-hosted, not backup, primary. Outage like this validates that decision.
