Faith in Slack mostly restored.

  Nope sorry. Slack is a walled garden. And relying on a walled garden means handing over your control, freedom and privacy which eventually gonna lead to similar kind of exploitation/abuse. As another HN commenter @SamWhited put it, "Using a proprietary protocol that doesn't allow any form of federation is an unacceptable way to build a global community". We need to develop and use FLOSS protocols/tools as much as possible.

    These are good points, but wow are the walls Slack has built beautiful. The webhooks make so many things better. Is there a service you recommend?

      Webhooks are great, but slack's notification semantics are infuriating.
