Some people hate us for it, but I'm pretty sure that having and preserving a strong #random culture in my (game development) team is what made us resilient and stay 100% effective when the pandemic shifted us to WFH. I had no idea how we were going to survive more than a few weeks going remote; today marks exactly 35 months since I last set foot in the office, and I can't imagine going back. Our random is set to expire in 24h and invitation-only, to mimic the privacy and volatility of water cooler chats.
> 7. Nobody uses Huddles, Google Meet is heavily used.
We're the same. Outside of engineers, I think huddle is a rarity and there's lots of people who still don't know it exists.
Threads are awesome btw :)
- lazyasciiart 4y agoI also love threads. And there's plenty of memes - there just aren't channels named #random. The only people I know who use huddles are the same people who send messages like "hey" and "you there?".
- climb_stealth 4y agoThe only problem with threads in Slack is that they are broken and not integrated properly. For example the keyboard controls don't work, they don't show new messages and similar little issues. The idea is great but the execution is very poor unfortunately
