They're all private? Why are you guys doing that?
- chatmasta 1y agoA good number of them are. I don’t like it either. I make every new channel public.
- fluoridation 1y agoSo stupid. I could possibly see it in a giant corporation where security could be more of an issue, but at 800 people?
- chatmasta 1y agoThere’s plenty of legitimate security concerns. But that’s not the usual reason for private channels. They’re created by people with control issues. It’s just another gatekeeping mechanism and way of playing politics.
- malnourish 1y agoWe get security alerts when we set a channel to public. We also have 1 day retention for private chats. (Teams, not Slack, but same idea)
- lukevp 1y agoA 1 day retention? That seems suspiciously short and like it is intended to cover things up
- malnourish 1y agoYes, it's absurd. But our industry put heavy incentive on R&D DLP.
- syntheticnature 1y agoWhere I am, you need an admin to make a public channel; you cannot do it yourself.
