Oh, my, Slack being down sounds like it would be a problem for a great many people!

Slack's back up for us, fwiw

Slack is awake again as of about five minutes ago. I honestly thought everyone was just being really quiet since it was most folks' first day back from vacation!

Our wings are not tired
Yeah, we've been using Slack for my little company for quite a few years now and those days when it goes out it feels like I'm partially blind or something.

Whew, I was able to log into my credit union. Mostly it was just making me anxious to not be able to see my balance. Now I am hoping that doesn't mean my bank's security is somehow reliant on Slack...

In pre-Covid times, Slack going down would have just meant a slightly louder office since people would fall back on, you know, talking to each other out loud. These days losing access to the group chat is so completely isolating!

Yes, Slack is back for us again, too.
Even before COVID, my team's spread over two offices and everyone would work from home at least one day a week. So Slack's pretty important to us. Someone in our morning Zoom meeting suggested switching to MS Teams and everyone else pretty much recoiled, hissing like vampires who just saw a crucifix.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I cannot even get my co-workers to reliably use jabber IM. Cannot imagine using slack for work.
I still fight with several to use email rather than the phone.

Our University's tech people have moved to MS Teams so my boss has been pushing it for internal communication. So not pretty

One of my customers uses MS Teams for our monthly conference call. It does not seem great, just from that limited exposure.
