IRC had uptime in the scale of decades. Why are our 2018 solutions so fragile?

The power of centralization! If I can't have it, you can't either! I wouldn't say it's fragile, though. Just like normal IT work, people only pay attention when it isn't working.

Given how much more robust Slack is than IRC as far as features go, it's probably not fragile. The closer a piece of software is to the network layer, the more stable it tends to be, just due to the internet's robustness.

The issue I'm having is that I can't send messages. Reading them is fine. The dashboards on the walls at SlackHQ must be pretty interesting right now.

If you want to stop being able to receive them as well, just hit reload (then you won't be able to reconnect).
