#25IRC had uptime in the scale of decades. Why are our 2018 solutions so fragile?
Eh, IRC networks split and individual servers went down all the time. But yes, there rarely was a complete EFNet outage even if sometimes there were 2 versions of the same channel going at once.
That being said although I like some slacks fancy features I do wish a distributed alternative could catch on.

#26What backup methods of communication are distributed teams using when Slack goes down?
My team uses Voxer threads as backup during times like this. We also use Voxer when it takes too long to type explanations out on Slack.

Native emoji support, aesthetically pleasing front-ends, and clear product direction are some of the main positives I see, even if the combination of php on the backend and electron on the frontend aren't the most sophisticated technical components in history.
I prefer decentralized and open things, but a cohesive vision can sometimes provide a better user experience across a more restricted set of functionality than an army of hackers, each solving their own problems.
