I can find Slack conversations from years ago just fine, also link a lot to Slack in our ticketing system which is very useful.
So for me Slack has become a second memory for technical and other details.
- zelphirkalt 5y agoNo useful threading in Slack, which is still one of its silliest issues. You must be using a paid version of Slack to see messages from a long time ago, as they have a limit on the no-cost version. This probably makes you dependent on your employer. When one switches between channels in Slack, oh boy is that think laggy! Sometimes I can wait for 5s, before the thing has switched, on a fairly modern CPU and up to date browser. In Thunderbird I can switch to saved searches and folders seemingly no matter how many e-mails I have in there in what seems to be perhaps 100 milliseconds. Lets face it: Slack is hopelessly bloated slow and laggy to no end. E-mail does not have these issues, if you use the right tools, as in not using anything like MS Office 265 Outlook to access e-mails, because that is broken in similar ways.
- pgwhalen 5y agoWhat is not useful about threading in slack? My organization uses it to great success. Sure, it could be improved, but so can anything.
- asmosoinio 5y ago> This probably makes you dependent on your employer. I did not understand this. I use Slack at work. I would assume my employer owns all the work related discussions we have and keeps that as useful documentation around many issues? And if someone leaves the company, it is a feature and not a bug that they will not have access to those internal discussions. What is bad about this?
