Using slack makes me so depressed. The interactions we have today pale in comparison to what we had in IRC 30 years ago.
Of course I accept we're stuck with slack. I just have no clue what to write with such a limited interface. The above posted link is a great example of making the most of a tiny interface and coming up short compared to... 30 years ago
- stavros 8mo agoThere are some great alternatives, like Zulip and Twist. Unfortunately, ~nobody uses them.
- nwparker 8mo agoSlack Connect just has a network effect, TBH. It's hard to move away.
- iso1631 8mo ago90% of people on IRC in the 90s used mIRC or BitchX. What features are missing in the modern slack client?
- FranklinJabar 8mo agoWell for one, you had control of the client. Writing extensions, bots, useful scripts was trivial. Slack is rotted enterprise and webhook laden mess in comparison
