Down for me. Using the browser.

Browser fails with the same message: Something’s gone awry and we’re having trouble loading your workspace. Sorry we can’t be more specific – this is one of those cases where we don’t know what’s gone wrong either. A restart of Slack might help, and you can always contact us. ps. restart of slack in browser? wtf?

>restart of slack in browser

most people IME use the slack app, in which case "restart" makes sense.

My whole team doesn't want to work today because we'll have to use MS Teams as a backup. Rip

We use Google Chat as a back up. It's always nice to see Google haven't killed it between Slack outages.

One fun thing we discovered an outage or two ago: Zoom, which is likely already on your computer too, has a very Slack-like Chat feature. Open up the Zoom app, then click the Chat icon in the top header. You probably missed it this entire time. You can make rooms, DMs, animated gifs, the works :)

I'm having issues with loading threads at the moment. So far that's all I've noticed.

Down for me. Can't use the desktop app or the browser. The app seems normal, but IDK if it's receiving traffic.

This is my experience as well. Running on MacOS 12.2 for desktop app, Firefox for the browser (latest stable version).

However, the iPhone version is working just fine.

Somewhat related, the peloton app is also down, how frustrating
