Slack issues

<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;downdetector.com&#x2F;status&#x2F;slack&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;downdetector.com&#x2F;status&#x2F;slack&#x2F;</a><p>Slack is definitely down even though their status page says otherwise.<p>Incentives matter. If there is no penalty for misrepresenting the current state of an outage, you are going to find that company driven status pages are going to be frequently inaccurate.

Another status page that sucks. Slack goes down, people start texting me about it, status page is green, HN informs me that Slack is actually down.<p>Next time I build a status page it will simply be a static HTML with green indicators and some random metrics, looks like it is the industry standard. :facepalm:

Finally! A chance to get some work done, undisturbed!

It seems to be back.

The website and app are not accessible (HTTP 503) but their status page is still green :smile:

Not down for me. OP&#x27;s link takes me to Slack&#x27;s homepage.

For those who only rely on Slack&#x27;s status page here are some other indicators (excl. HN):<p>* Twitter: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;search?q=%40SlackStatus" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;search?q=%40SlackStatus</a><p>* Downdetector: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;downdetector.com&#x2F;status&#x2F;slack&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;downdetector.com&#x2F;status&#x2F;slack&#x2F;</a>

<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;status.slack.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;status.slack.com&#x2F;</a> is not updated yet.

Digging into the status page history reveals a reference to an issue lasting for 7 minutes, caused by a &quot;minor technical change&quot; that was rolled back. [1]<p>Still claims 100% uptime for May.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;status.slack.com&#x2F;2023-05-17" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;status.slack.com&#x2F;2023-05-17</a>

The post should probably link to the status page (which shows all systems ok at the moment): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;status.slack.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;status.slack.com&#x2F;</a>

There was definitely a 20 minute window where it was down for us. Messages were occasionally getting through but often in the wrong order, and many just failed.

Working fine for me. I think you might be holding it wrong.

Based on the notifications I&#x27;ve been getting all morning, I can say for sure it isn&#x27;t.

Yep, its down for me as well.

Working normally for us.

You are wrong, their status page clearly says<p>&gt; Uptime for the current quarter:<p>&gt; 100%

Weird I didn&#x27;t experience any issues today

productivity for adhd people now increase :)

Slack is just slacking off.

Works fine for me I think

slack is bitchware. a new term i use these days for software which is forced on employees because they have no other option (hence bitches). other examples of bitchware are microsoft teams, jira etc.

Would a decent status page be an actually intelligent use of blockchain? We could have a global network of computers responsible for determining a consensus on whether a service is truly and actually down or not. It could be captured in an independent ledger, and ideally used as a canonical determination for status pages, SLA disputes, etc.
