Presumably that's an unsalted hash so that it can be checked against the list of certificate revocations, so whether it's a hash or not doesn't do anything for privacy. It's the same hash of Slack's dev certificate that every other Slack customer is sending.
Anyone snooping the connection can figure that out and see that my computer said "Check the revocation status of Slack Inc.," and the same goes for literally every other software company's certificate hash.
I'm glad it's being fixed but it's still bad that it was done this way in the first place.
