Which means the number of people who will complain loudly and pull shadow-IT setups of Slack will skyrocket. Last year my employer MANDATED we switch from free Slack to a full-featured trial of Teams... and within 72 hours that mandate was dropped because __executives__ were not getting messages that they knew had been sent. Slack, on the other hand, Just Works.
- zxcvbn4038 7y agoI think we need to differentiate between just works and barely works. With Slack I think someone decided to go full dot-com and throw away everything known about human communication so they could learn it again by trial and error. You can’t mute bots, you can’t mute plugins, can’t add someone to a private conversation, anyone can auto-join you to any channel, api is full of typemorphic elements that encode their type within themselves, don’t get me started about Slack threads.
