Who is it not accessible to? Just because you choose not to create a Slack account doesn't mean it's not accessible to you.

Who is it not accessible to? Just because you choose not to create a Slack account doesn't mean it's not accessible to you.
- Xeago 7y agoSlack does quite poorly on accessibility, so anyone using assistive measures from their operating system or separate application (voice instructed navigation, screen readers etc) will have a much harder than the average blog post or mailing list.
- seattle_spring 7y agoBased on the context, it's pretty clear to me that the parent comment was not referring to accessibility in the a11y sense, but more of the "Slack is a private company and therefore inherently closed and evil" slant.
- village-idiot 7y agoI personally find Slack to be utterly abysmal at actually keeping information, stuff that scrolls up beyond the fold is effectively lost. Maybe that's what GP meant?
- IloveHN84 7y agoIf you use the other plan, old resources are not accessible anymore. Is it fine enough?
- dewey 7y agoOld content in Slack is not available through search if you are not on a paid plan but I was more referring to the public open web and people trying to find answers through search engines.
