It's harder (but not impossible) to have complete service lossage like this in a federated protocol.
That's why you didn't hear about the great email collapse of 2006.

#12I don't see that type of unprofessional behavior among the users I collaborate with.
I guess that's the drawback to working with Millennials. Lazy and time-wasting and always think they are new or funny.

And relevant to the market: why Freenode netsplits are more of a joke than a problem.

Of course, if my email goes down, it does not help me that other's is still up.
In fact, if total downtime is constint, I would prefer they overlap.

#15Seems to be up for me again. I wonder if 8 minutes of downtime is enough to warrant a post-mortem blog post.
Eh, I don't think a post-mortem is really necessary. They said it was a broken code change on the status page. If they wrote a post-mortem, it'd probably just say "A team member forgot to foobar the bazqux when deploying an update. We immediately followed our playbook for rolling back a failed deployment and restored service within 9 minutes."

I have two jobs, the one without Slack is much harder to stay on top of.
I just mute the gif-sharing channel.

Using MS Teams at the office and I couldn't agree more. It's useful about 30% of the time. The other 70% is sharing giphies and news links.
We solved this by creating a separate channel for gifs and news. Those interested can participate, those not interested can just mute the channel and ignore it.

I feel like this is about as relevant to this discussion as someone arrogantly interjecting, "Oh I don't own a TV," when talking about Netflix shows.
