#Slack
Hi folks, what's the best #slack alternative for a small non-profit organization that can't afford the slack price?
I'm looking for free-to-join channels, private channels, DMs, tagging, history search.
Slack offers this but limits history to 90 days in its free version.
Is #Discord what I'm looking for?
🔄 Boosts appreciated!
@designthinkingcomic The right panel describes my experience with #Slack every time I've had the misfortune of having to use it.
Написал в рабочем Slack сообщение о том, что вместе с чисткой кодовой базы выпилили модуль, который я чинил и что вот merge request, где я этот код привожу в рабочее состояние и в целом его можно было бы вернуть.
Пришёл тимлид и поставил реакцию с гробом.
Я прокликал его реакцию и добавил свои две.
Теперь менеджера ждёт ГРОБ-ГРОБ-КЛАДБИЩЕ-КРЕСТ.
Miten ton Slackin Active / Away automatisoinnin saa pois päältä? En halua, et olen jonkin ajan kuluttua Away tilassa vaan haluan itse asettaa olevani poissa.

#Slack: When you have a captive audience, there's no sense in *not* torturing them, right?
In general I'm finding I like using #Slack a lot more than using #email for internal communication, but one thing I really miss about email is the ability to put a garbage string in the To: line to prevent accidental sends. In Slack I regularly accidentally send a message halfway through when I'm adding a list of bullets or something like that, but it's not a common enough occurrence that I want to change to use Cntl + Enter for send all the time.
Left my #dotNET team so no #Slack to post #memes to 😭

I don't have adequate words for how strongly I dislike the subject lines on email notifications from #slack. No, that person did not send me a message. they mentioned @channel. Yes, please do notify me of such mentions. Just... in the name of all sanity, please be accurate. Stop triggering my anxiety.
Für ein kleineres #GruenderInnen Projekt habe ich nach einem Chat-Programm als #Slack-Alternative gesucht. Fündig wurde ich schnell bei Matrix mit Element, allerdings fehlte mir noch der passende Hoster. Diesen habe ich jetzt bei @ossrox gefunden und bin bisher total glücklich. Neben der tollen technischen Lösung, ein super schneller und freundlicher Support und faire Preise. Absolute Empfehlung! #chat #kommunikation #datensicherheit #datenschutz
I've been using #Slack in the browser since my company switched to it around 8 years ago, because why would you use an app that is effectively a browser with hardcoded URL.
Yesterday I realized I use #Spotify app. Why? So it's a second day I use it in browser as well.
Looks like I gave another heavy tab to #Firefox to handle. Sorry :)
The #pandemic has drastically changed the way we work and the way we communicate. #Slack and #Salesforce have been ahead of the curve in embracing these changes, and I'm glad to see that the #India market is ready to join in the transformation. I'm looking forward to seeing how #generativeAI and other cutting edge technologies will continue to shape the workplace in the years to come. #WorkplaceTransformation #TechRevolution http://www.techmeme.com/231126/p2#a231126p2

Free business idea: extension for #Slack that lets you block people
Any other #Slack workspace managers who've been getting requests to confirm members to other workspaces? To be clear, it's not only workspaces I don't manage, but which I'm not a member of and have never interacted with. It's happened to me twice in the last weeks.
Abusing Slack for Offensive Operations #slack
https://posts.specterops.io/abusing-slack-for-offensive-operations-2343237b9282
Hey, #Slack users:
Is there no way to configure "Preferences" globally for all workspaces?
Examples: I never ever want the "Enter" key to behave as a "Send" button. And I want all notifications muted.
Can these settings be made globally and cascade through all my workspaces?
One day, hopefully, #Slack will show gifs/videos on the Mastodon previews. Today is not that day though.
(More than one image for posts with multiple images would be nice as well)
Working with the #slack api is always fun. I like that the deactivated user ID seems to be a global ID: deactivateduser862385. I also like that slackbot seems to be the same user for all accounts, just one super account with an ID of: USLACKBOT.

For the academics out there, so you have a #slack account in your lab, and is it useful?
I've had one for years and it's been quite handy for code sharing and just general lab communication. But it might be hard for me to maintain due to policies at my University.
At work, we have #Slackbot configured to comment every time someone says "cheesesteak" in conversation.
So of course someone had to go and create a server named #cheesesteak....
Good to see Slack tests their website…
Situation: old laptop with Debian 12, latest Slack, and Firefox 105 installed.
I open Slack.
Slack not logged in, it asks me to click a button to open the Slack website in a browser to log in (because apparently Electron cannot do this, despite being a web browser).
Slack's site tells me it doesn't support this older browser (being fixed now; v115 is in bookworm-updates), but suggests if I know the URI (I do), I can click a link and log in that way. Or I can log in via the app (which I was trying to do)
I click that link, it STILL tells me the browser is old, and will not ask me what the URI is to log in. Instead, it suggests I download the Electron app
… which is what sent me on this whole f'ing journey in the first place!
Does #Slack have an excuse why you cannot limit who can add members to a private channel? Or is because nobody in that bloody company still have a clue about privacy, access controls and other scary words?
By "my job requires me to shift gears at a moment's notice", I mean "I like the challenge of my work but the continual interruptions are hell and I think #DantesInferno would be entirely different if it was written after the creation of #Slack
Oh yay, I've earned a scintilla of #slack
After 14 years, my book publisher is going to stop snail-mailing me quarterly statements reminding me that my books didn't cover the advance and never will.
Now they're just gonna send me quarterly emails, which are far easier to ignore.
i have a recent issue (using linux) with #slack that emojis aren't appearing correctly under certain circumstances. any one else with this issue?
Una cosa que me fastidia de usar #Teams, #Slack y #GoogleChat a la vez, con equipos distintos, es que los atajos para poner emoticonos son totalmente distintos entre uno y otro.
Quite a progressive move by the guys at #Slack. Taking a break to level up the staff that is. https://www.hrgrapevine.com/content/article/2023-10-24-slack-announces-radical-week-long-shutdown-due-to-an-internal-skills-crisis #Tech #TechNews
@alxlg@mastodon.social @julian@fed.foad.me.uk "Now"? It's a proprietary system with an open core, it's not free as in freedom. Especially the SaaS hosted version is not something you should depend on if you care for software freedom.
I believe GitLab the company is on the stock market these days too, which means they have a very serious dedication to chase money rather than quality. They'll do more and more undesirable actions with the project and it will lower the quality over time, but even today you should definitely not support their proprietary platform if you care for software freedom.
Just because its used by many projects doesn't mean it is good. Many free software projects use or have used #GitHub, and these days many also opt to use #Slack or #Discord. None of these platforms should ever be considered, yet here we are. Arguing something must be great because a project you respect uses it seems very shortsighted, and is exactly the kind of behaviour I point out in my previous post. People who loudly proclaim the believe in free software, but when it comes down to it, they don't actually care a single bit the moment it implies they have to do some effort to stand up for their supposed ideals.
Despite SAAS like #Teams or #Slack, I still find #email has the greatest longevity, and is roughly standards compliant many years later accessible via numerous web, desktop & mobile apps.
So, I had written up 2 posts that help me when creating and saving emails:
• 7 + 1 Tips for Email Subject Lines: https://notepad.onghu.com/2021/email-tips-subject-lines/
• Tips for categorizing and storing emails: https://notepad.onghu.com/2021/email-categorisation/
Both are derived from experience over 20+ years - comments welcome!
Just saw a very cool #hackathon project at work that used the PETAL stack integrated with #slack. I had looked at #Elixir and #Phoenix a long time ago and it caused me to take another look. Nice to learn new tech!
#Slack down for the whole world or just me?
#Slack Stop Changing Your Fucking Layout Challenge
The redesigned #Slack makes it a bit easier for all those grieving having been forced to use #MicrosoftTeams (I have yet to meet that one person who voluntarily chose the latter).
"I'm so ugly, that's ok, 'cause so are you."
Experiencing the inability to leave #Slack threads by pressing the left arrow key? Please use /feedback from anywhere in Slack and refer to case 5159085 in your report. #accessibility
We need a #decrapifier for #Slack. I don't like the new UI changes either.
I preferred when I worked for places that just used #IRC.
@briankrebs Does this mean I am able to run multiple #Signal 'instances' so I can split private comms from business comms and well essentially ditch #Slack for my business?
In case you didn't know #Slack has a setting to turn on link underlines!
This basic usability feature is found in Settings under Accessibility!
I don't know why they don't have a higher contrasting link colour by default, mind.
Pero pero pero. No veo cómo usar la interfaz web de #slack en la tablet, todo me lleva a "instala la app".
Qué birria de mundo.
Wife just texted me this. I swear it is not posed. Apparently I am Overman In Repose #slack
@ai6yr #slack now has an incident open https://status.slack.com/2023-11/ef3e4b0ebcf16d8d
Hmm, seeing Slack failures on desktop on multiple work organizations, wonder if they broke something. (Update: recovered... not sure when, went to get dinner, LOL) #Slack
@sanderelias Yeah, I haven't been a fan of the #Slack and #Discord approaches because they aren't indexed and require you to already be a part of a relevant community for a particular question.
I don't have a lot of experience with #AI in this space, but have been generally underwhelmed with it's results.

Enshittification report: #Slack
There's a lot of things wrong with Slack. However, historically, one thing that Slack got very right was their handling of notifications, as in you could always find your notifications promptly and easily. This was a critical feature, since Slack's early user base was tech support teams.
The new Slack UI breaks notifications. It's almost as bad as gChat now. Half the time I can't find my notifications; the other half I can't dismiss ones I've seen.
#Slack has a notification sound that is a recording of one of their employees saying "hummus": https://mashable.com/article/slack-hummus-sound-stress
Each #weft yarn is one #Slack message. Purple is our boss, mottled turquoise is folks in my job, black is devs, light blue is data folks, chunky blue is the person who ran the consulting and workshops. Light green is the month divider. I learned a lot about how we communicate; it just took one weekend.
I saw the Twitter integration removed from the Make WordPress Slack channels yesterday.
Now I know why. "Slack has retired its integration with X (formerly Twitter) because of X’s API changes introduced earlier this year."
https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/24/23930686/slack-x-twitter-integration-retires-api-pricing
Does anybody know how to revert to the old design in #Slack. I’m in 5 workspaces, and only the one for our company appears in the new design which really drives me nuts!
Any ideas?
Please boost. Thanks.
#Slack has ended its integration with X (formerly Twitter) due to changes in X's API. The move follows a trend of platforms cutting ties with X due to its API modifications and other recent changes.

There is hosted Zulip with free plans. https://zulip.com/
Every project, #software or not, should consider #Zulip. I think #accessibility and possible use as a public #archive might need investigation or work, but the experience for chat is so much better than #Slack or #Discord and it is #OpenSource
It looks like Slack retired a bunch of Twitter integrations, and is now moving away from Twitter/X for their status updates.

More greatness from the new #Slack UI: notifications that you can't locate and won't go away.
CNCF slack has supposedly had a notification for me for 2 days now. But there is no notification to be found. Can't dismiss it, either.
Slack has Canvas and Workflow but they seem to be independent features that have minimal integration between them. Workflow should, at least, be able to pipe its output to a list in a Canvas.
#Slack has now gone from 'zombie notification that won't go away' to a badge that says '-1' notifications. Stellar stuff
Hey fellow devs, If you would organize a company wide communication (chat solution), that allows employees to not provide a private phone number (e.g. whatsapp, signal) and log off for quite hours and allow for groups and web hooks. (Also with sending thus storing sensitive data/documents in mind.)
Would you go for external services (#slack, #hipchat, #threema…) or self-hosted solutions (synology chat, #mattermost, #matrix).
My gut feeling is that matrix and mattermost check most my boxes.
