I emailed slack about a year ago suggesting that they were totally missing the boat on slack as a social network. I am in 4 slacks and only one of them is professional. They were not interested.
- tempestn 8y agoThey've got a lot on their plates already; probably best not to try and dive full into social network for now. Plus you'd have to be really careful not to lose the separation that makes it good in the process.
- wolco 8y agoThey can't be seen as a consumer product while marketing for enterprise dollars.
- s_trumpet 8y agoIMO Discord already is what Slack as a social network could be.
- chrisallenlane 8y agoAgreed. Discord is also what got me off of Facebook entirely. Discord today feels like how Facebook used to feel when it started: I'm actually friends with everyone on there, and we're having real conversations. There's also 100% less politics, moral panic, virtue-signaling, outrage, ads, "fake news", Farmville invitations, and similar garbage. It's nice.
