Slack is down, so everyone should just go home now
Surprise! Slack is down again, and office workers are discovering new, innovative ways to communicate. Like with their mouths.
Slack users began getting the “Slack couldn’t send this message” notification around 2:14 p.m. EST on Friday, Sept. 7.
Employees are seemingly falling back to old methods of communication — in some desperate scenarios, using the dreaded Google Hangouts application.
Slack has been replying to some users on Twitter, but has yet to post an official notice on its corporate status page.
While Slack’s status page has yet to reflect the outage, outage.report is showing the issue with over 100 alerts in the past 20 minutes.
Mashable is keeping a close eye on the Slack Status page and will update this post once it reflects an outage.
And as you might expect, given the flurry of tweets last time Slack stopped working, users are heading to Twitter to talk about their newfound freedom.
Slack is down! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
