The redesign is OK.
Annoying how some things moved, still not enough emphasis on channels that have unread messages (light text vs. normal for “bold” to call attention), and still no way to mute all but direct @ messages… so you can’t ever mute @channel or @here without muting the channel. The way Slack handles and automatically closes direct messages and private chats is annoying and I want to be able to turn that off… but I can’t. I have a group I check in with like once every two weeks and I have to rebuild the list or “star it” to save it. But stating it moves it to another area above group messages… not a fan.
Honestly Discord is better in almost every way still. Kinda wish they stole more from Discord.
- buggy6257 3y agoI could be wrong, but worth mentioning -- my DMs at my work slack have never auto-deleted. Looking through setting shows nothing that calls this out, but one note is that when I click on "Direct Messages" on the sidebar and go to "Show and sort", I have "Show in this section" set to "All", and "Sort this section" set to "Alphabetically". Maybe something with those settings is persisting mine? I have 1 chat that has been there well over 2 weeks now, and another where i never even messaged them, just opened the DM window. Either way, it all sucks, and I totally sympathize. :(
