I’ve barely used it but I’ll shamelessly jump to the conclusion that Salesforce ruined it
I waiver between the long-form email with action items clearly marked, etc. andthe professional yet pithy equivalent of "let's discuss." What's your preference?

Is there some specific aspect of slack that has contributed more to your hatred? I think for me the worst aspect of Slack, and pretty much every chat application like it, is that it's so invasive on my attention. They are all guilty of this, so I can't say it's just Slack.
I’m about to turn 30 and I’ve never been on slack.. is this freedom?
haha. also Microsoft Teams is the same. just another app to distract me during the workday. Microsoft should just kill teams entirely and just create an all-in-one app that does email, chat, and videoconferencing (i.e., Outlook+).
Hol up. Sorry but email blows, period. Over complicated, close to no privacy, convoluted, extraordinarily centralized, censored by ISPs (hosting your own), unequal message/spam/security treatment from big tech email providers. Plaintext by default, server to server plaintext. Uses dns to provide basic security/integrity/spam prevention, that big tech providers regularly ignore. At best unencrypted smtp metadata. Its a hot disgusting mess. Foss servers are dying every day, there are so few foss imap clients that actually function, have modern features and are even close to regularly updated. Great podcast explaining some of the mess from ValueStack

Do you know why NATO is funding political campaigns in the United States? Did they force you to help them?
That's why you post to different topic channels with different members, and not to "general". Our company has an e-mail plague and it's the same thing, but more tedious because you have to set up inbox filters.
