I can't stand how marketing speak pervades every sphere of the world. Their entire system is offline (inconvenient certainly, but it happens) and they can't bring themselves to say "Slack is down. We're working on it and will be back ASAP." or something similar. Instead we may have trouble.
For some reason, today, HN seems exceedingly exceedingly slow (to me) after logging in... Without being logged in, things are as fast as they usually are -- but post log-in, SLOWWWER THAN MOLASSESS ... I tried this several times; why this is, I can only wonder... To quote Bill and Ted... "Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K..."
It's not like there aren't alternatives. You could even imagine someone has a live bridge between Mattermost and their Slack team, making the switchover seamless.
Why does the slack client not show connection issues instead of just hard locking up?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Several IRC servers do have support for authentication and access control (and audit trails as well I suppose). Only centralized history/logging and search would need to be bolted on if needed. In the non-centralized case your IRC client takes care of all of that.
Lack of logs and history is a feature not a bug.
This site seems to be lagging as well. Or is it just me?
