MODERATORS
There is now software for organizations to surveil Slack for keywords and negative sentiment automagically and set up alerts for HR or your manager, etc.. I'd be more than a little cautious about what you write there.
I do this except via text so management can't find the messages
Karen from HR: "What is RBF, and why do you think I have it?"
Really Big Fun! You can see it all over your face!
Do not do this. All private messages are exported as plain text when the admin exports workspace data for backup/archival purposes.
It's wild that people actually think that these platforms are secure.
People used to do this at tech conferences, but using Twitter. Someone would start a hashtag and people would jump in. There was always a fun side-channel going with people commenting on what was being presented on the main stage.
Fun times, before... sigh
At least it's slack and not ms teams
Both are shit actually.
I preferred teams over slack. At least I could hear the notification.
I like to listen for the giggles from the people who forgot to mute when doing this.
It's a time honored tradition.
