Slack is down, productivity goes up... after using it for a while I find it does communications within a team well but does almost nothing to increase collaboration, so I guess slack is in area which apps like Discord will disrupt.
Seems to be up for me again. I wonder if 8 minutes of downtime is enough to warrant a post-mortem blog post.
I stopped using Slack. It is a productivity drain.

This is starting to become a common theme...
It's harder (but not impossible) to have complete service lossage like this in a federated protocol.
That's why you didn't hear about the great email collapse of 2006.
