    @SlackHQ @freddyandresh hey guys maybe don't change your status page to say "no issues" with connections or logins when I am *sure* I'm not the only one who still can't get in despite multiple restarts

  • robingurl65 Robin Gurl (@robingurl65) reported

    @SlackHQ was down at work and we were forced to use @MicrosoftTeams it was so god awful. Don’t force your employees on it. Slack is better by a long shot. #frustrated #annoying #notworthit

  • amoghs7 Amogh (@amoghs7) reported

    @SlackHQ what was the issue?

  • wtoobz Wes Toobz (@wtoobz) reported

    @SlackHQ when I open the slack app on my computer it brings me to the twitter login page without any option to go back to slack. How do I open up my workspace in the slack app when all it shows is twitter?

  • GRMule Chris Baker (@GRMule) reported

    @SlackHQ I know how stressed I feel when I have problems with a Dev deploy for UAT testing a sprint release... Slack has **** servers down with Associated Press articles talking about it, I can only imagine the pants being pooped. Deep breath, hope the engineer who cracks it gets a beer!

  • corneil Corneil du Plessis. ☕🦍😷 (@corneil) reported

    With @SlackHQ down how are we supposed to know what work to do?

  • NotionHQ Notion (@NotionHQ) reported

    @sandeeptodi @utekkare @SlackHQ Definitely not our usual standard, but we totally understand that there is nothing more frustrating than inconsistent service. Aside from the current issue, we are working on offline support, so we'd appreciate if you stuck around and put those credits to good use!

  • davemreed Dave Reed 🌹 🇵🇸 (@davemreed) reported

    Really appreciate @SlackHQ shutting my computer down totally today in addition to it being completely useless.

  • justkeydrick Keidrick (@justkeydrick) reported

    What did everyone do with their extra off day since @SlackHQ has been down?!

    @bridgetking12 @SlackHQ Worst is : it must be spoiling many's monday and they all are struglling after their holidays.. all corporate and individual slack services are down

  • TonyRichmond27 Tony Richmond (@TonyRichmond27) reported

    @SlackHQ @skwidjybo Hi, I'm having this exact same issue, very bizarre. Pressing "shift + ctrl + O" yielded no change.

  • khemani Yash Khemani (@khemani) reported

    @SlackHQ I'm sorry for the stress you must be dealing with -- coming back from a holiday to an outage on the first Monday of a new year is not fun. Hope you have services fully back online soon! 🙏🏾

  • skwidjybo grace t (@skwidjybo) reported

    @SlackHQ Please help! My Windows Slack app is stuck on a Twitter home screen and there is no option to return to the regular interface even though Slack is back up and running. I can't uninstall and reinstall because I am not an admin on my company's device

  • pauladamgordon Paul. (@pauladamgordon) reported

    Today, @SlackHQ down. Tomorrow, kids at home from school. Hoping Wednesday will be much more positive with a plague of locusts or the heat death of the universe. 🤞

  • aaronmfisher Aaron M Fisher (@aaronmfisher) reported

    Does anyone else's day get totally thrown off when @slackhq is down in the AM?

  • chuck_martin Chuck Martin, aspirational anti-fascist 🏳️‍🌈 (@chuck_martin) reported

    @sfleetucker @SlackHQ A well-documented system would provide information about and insight into potential issues. But probably “agile,” so documentation is verboten.

  • cingirl30 Cindy Berman (@cingirl30) reported

    What else is down today? Oh 2021...I had such high hopes for you! I've got @SlackHQ (now back - hopefully won't go down again🤞), @NotionHQ , @LeanData... anything else?

  • megannsmitth Megan Smith (@megannsmitth) reported

    But why do I have FOMO about the @SlackHQ and @NotionHQ outage loooool

  • ryantinker Ryan Tinker (@ryantinker) reported

    @kpfefferle @SlackHQ The ol’ Javascript rounding error.

  • vigneshsridhar Vignesh Sridhar (@vigneshsridhar) reported from Fremont, California

    If @SlackHQ is down, dont complain. Move on and collaborate using @zoom_us @Outlook 🤔#ManagerMindset

  • WilSchobeiri Wilfried Schobeiri (@WilSchobeiri) reported

    Most failures are created by change. Lots of change, forced to happen all at once leads to in increased probability of failure. Current @SlackHQ outage caused by lifting code freeze?

  • lewkoo Levko Ivanchuk (@lewkoo) reported

    @SlackHQ went down today, but for a while their API was still running just fine. Whip up some quick Flask code and fire up a message to the general channel letting them know my email. Fatal error since they could not read it but now everyone’s asking how did that message appeared

  • priyeshugarg Priyeshu Garg (@priyeshugarg) reported

    @kuizinas @SlackHQ Who said they use Slack when @SlackHQ does not go down?

  • wtoobz Wes Toobz (@wtoobz) reported

    @SlackHQ @skwidjybo also having this issue, ‘shift + cmd/ctrl + O’ also changed nothing for me
