If only there were a venerable, decentralized instant messaging system we could use, perhaps some kind of internet relay chat system... You reap what you sow. Depending on Slack for your communications is a bad idea. I can't even remember the last time any of the IRC networks I frequent had a total outage.
So you are saying people should sow discord?
It's times like this I wish there was a solid decentralized standard to pick from, but there's no clear choice between XMPP and Matrix.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but "We've received word that all workspaces are having troubles connecting to Slack." makes it sound like their internal monitoring didn't catch whatever is causing this. I was personally experiencing issues for about 20-30 minutes before the status update was posted.
Are there solid Slack-style self-hosted alternatives? (The gitlab of the slack world, to be clear.)
Atlassian, the folks behind bitbucket, jira, and (now) trello have a self hosted product: https://www.atlassian.com/software/hipchat They also have a Slack alternative, called Stride.

I have little pity for the folks who decided that re-implementing a shell in a chat application was a well-conceived notion.
Hopefully they're learning this lesson. I can just see it now. A company's app is dying from all the timeouts to a slack webhook, however they can't deploy because slack is down.

Is this a bob reference??
Does anyone know about any Slack alternatives that support bots, GIFYs and emojis ? And above all that is not ridiculously slow.
