Is Slack Down?
- theandrewbailey 7y agoNo. https://status.slack.com/ https://status.slack.com/ Edit (from 3 minutes later): maybe.
- gtdawg 7y agoYes. https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=news&q=slack&src=typd https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=news&q=slack&sr...
- vira28 7y agoAble to access now, but I was getting error 500.
- wenbin 7y agoyes, from san francisco
- jjordan 7y agoConfirmed down in Florida here.
- jjordan 7y agoBack up now.
- tmcz26 7y agoYep! https://status.slack.com/2019-05/6d7541f932dd628c https://status.slack.com/2019-05/6d7541f932dd628c
- BWStearns 7y agoHad a glitch but seems to be working now (NYC)
- lquist 7y agoThanks for the heads up I was wondering what was going on! In the future, linking to a company's status page (almost always located at status.companyurl) is even more helpful! https://status.slack.com https://status.slack.com in this case.
- vira28 7y agowhen i first checked status.slack.com does show up. Still i couldn't reach slack.com. That's why put that on the link. (Looks like once posted can't update the URL)
- lquist 7y agoAh I see! Thanks for the explanation
- Kiro 7y agoWhen something is down it's almost never immediately reflected on the status page. I always resort to Twitter.
- vira28 7y agosame. didn't see anything on twitter too. (at least for the first five minutes)
- rdl 7y agoTech productivity goes up 10x.
- rbanffy 7y agoI wondered why I was enjoying work without interruptions... Now, seriously, how do we convince people to go back to less synchronous forms of communication such as e-mail?
- frogpelt 7y agoAnything other than a phone call or a face to face should be asynchronous. I think it's unhealthy to expect something different.
- meowface 7y agoChat is pretty asynchronous for me. I only read or respond to things when my name is mentioned or if there's something particularly relevant or important going on. I just mute notifications for all but the most important channels, and sometimes even mute those while working. That way you only get a notification for @everyone-type mentions, personal mentions, and personal messages, which is not unlike email.
- toomuchtodo 7y agoWork someplace where you defending your time is encouraged and made a priority. Slack is the remote work equivalent of "butts in chair" management. If you need information, outline what you need and email the person; allow them time to respond. Document that in a knowledge base if the data must persist and be disseminated. If you need to hold a meeting, hop on Zoom and record it, while you have a participant document the output. If you need something immediately (and it better be important), you can call or IM. EDIT: @frogpelt said it better.
- tomphoolery 7y agoPlease link the status page next time like a normal person.
- jniedrauer 7y agoWorking fine in WA.
- runxel 7y agoNot. Not here.
- revskill 7y ago"Try Slack with your team for free" should be become "Try Slack with your team for free with limitation of 10000 messages per month"
- telesilla 7y agoThe message limitation works for a small group I'm in - we just export the messages every week and back them up to Github, so we don't really need Slack to archive for us.
- peterkelly 7y agoI sure hope so; then I can actually get some work done.
- brianpayne2 7y agoWhile it is still working for me, I have also seen some issues with some Office 365 services. According to Azure's Twitter account, there is also an outage going on there (although they have yet to update their status page for some reason).
