Is Slack having some trouble?


I was having some problems with Slack that you can send message but you do not get a confirmation (so the text message gets greyed out) but it is actually sent. This is confusing because you can't delete the pending message and can't delete the duplicated messages after restarting the Slack client either.

Yes. It's really a shame how useless their status page usually is - it's still all green at the moment.

Just encountered an issue deleting a message. Error.

"Message deletion failed"

"Sorry, something went wrong with deleting your message."

Edit: Seems like messages are just straight up not sending and receiving.

If we have high availability connectivity for servers, I feel like corporations should also consider applying the same principles for inter-personal communication. A distributed and encrypted protocol with a similar feature set to Slack would come handy. Any suggestions?
