When I started at a fully-remote company, where most communications happened on Slack, I was prepared to live with it as a necessity that I simply had to deal with, based on my negative perception of it from places like HN. I actually found it to be a very nice way to keep casual communications open to a remote workforce, while also allowing for actual work communications and collaboration. Now that I'm in another position at a company that is remote due to COVID, I find not having a well-managed Slack workspace a minus and I do feel less connected to the team.
