Slack banned Blind

I downloaded the app and tried to register with my corporate email account. Email never came though. Looks like those emails are blacklisted. Wow. I had to use the Linkedin authentication. There’s so much drama at this company and reading all these posts about how favorable people see Slack (even through they never worked here) is a bit concerning

First thread I’ve seen about Slack since I got Blind. Where are all these posts?

Seems like people can’t authenticate Blind via corporate slack email hence why you don’t see anyone posting that much about slack. I had to use the Linkedin authentication process.

Please divulge more. Literally the first time I’ve heard of issues at Slack

Smart

Don’t worry product is still solid. However the company has grown to about 1300 people in two years so there’s so much confusion and role misalignment across departments that it can be exhausting

Of course the product is solid, it's a glorified IRC rip off. I can understand why 1300 would worry of lay offs if working on IRC. Still no "slap with trout" option either... wtf are you guys doing

1300 is WAY too many people to be working on a messaging app

Lolol oh wow. Amazing

I would have moved to Slack in a heartbeat but after reading this I don’t think so. That’s just fucked up

Everything I’ve read about slack, this thread included, makes me think they are the epitome of a politically minded SV company.

Spot on. It’s exhausting

What do you mean by politically minded?

Slack is being out run by Microsoft Teams in adoption rate. My customers have seen through the freemimum model and many bolt- on's.

But every co in SF uses Slack, what do you mean?

Microsoft Closed Jun 15, 2018

Lol i forgot about the SF echo chamber. They should look into diversity of state.

Slack’s Middle Management is completely clueless, brought in probably because of being buddies with the folks at the top

Slack rekA16 OP Jun 15, 2018

Yes. 100%. So true
