John Gordon@caseynewton @zoeschiffer Funny that Slack was the “last straw”.

Earthy Tonez@72mena @ang6666 @jgordon @caseynewton @zoeschiffer Why do you say that? I 100% get it. Not as like an only thing, but as a last straw? For sure.
🌸 melanie kat 🌸@caseynewton i wouldn't know what a busted jira looks like. i think it's supposed to look like that.

Matt@zicklepop @caseynewton i was going to say has anyone ever seen a working instance of Jira? Lol

Edwin Smith@zicklepop @caseynewton Our running joke whenever we find something simple that still isn’t possible is “I’m sure there is a paid plugin for $1000 a month that’ll add that feature”.
Pretty sure the business model is reduce the core functionality so you can get 30% from the plug-in vendors who add it back in.

@caseynewton @zoeschiffer what are they doing? IRC and Trello? Letters and Post-it notes?
Eshu Marneedi@cujobyte @EshuMarneedi @caseynewton @zoeschiffer Twitter hasn't got enough money to buy floppies either :(
Spicewalla@gpowerf @caseynewton @zoeschiffer
Private mastodon instance.
clacke: exhausted pixie dream boy 🇸🇪🇭🇰💙💛@gpowerf I wouldn't be surprised if multiple departments were running secret Taiga/Phorge and Mattermost/Zulip installs to organize themselves.
@Spicewalla If they were actually running some Mastodon/Pleroma/GoToSocial servers as well, that would be absolutely hilarious.

Sascha Pallenberg 🇹🇼 ♻️ ⚡@caseynewton @zoeschiffer back to the good old email. Unbelievable!
Timothy Swan@caseynewton @zoeschiffer When a company starts taking away useful tools to save pennies that's when you know things aren't going well.
Uncle 6 🌁@caseynewton @zoeschiffer roughly how many weeks would you say is Twitter from selling blood plasma to pay the light bill

joy larkin 🌺✨Ok, I have to say it out loud...I actually kinda like using Mattermost. But the biggest PITA is bringing outside people onto it since it's not as widely used.
But still feeling like *The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point dot gif*
Bret Carmichael@caseynewton @zoeschiffer If it was a conscious decision to kill Slack, it’s pretty reckless (and on brand) that Musk and company wouldn’t export and migrate all the conversation history, instead of severing the entire company from its knowledge base when most of the employees who held that knowledge are gone.
Peter Butler@caseynewton @zoeschiffer This is probably heresy to most, but I’d prefer to go back to the days of email and Trillian myself, tbh.

P Marsden@caseynewton @zoeschiffer slack can be replaced (Teams - ugh) but Jira? Ouch.
Mostly Harmless (Cam Johnson)@mostlyharmlessz @Ohiohawkeye @caseynewton @zoeschiffer
Especially now that Platfomer just told everyone how

Brian Brown@caseynewton @zoeschiffer So you’re telling us an organized campaign of thousands of accounts turning privacy on and off can take the whole house of cards down?

ooh shiny
EdenDestroyer@caseynewton @zoeschiffer cant help but just laugh now
Paula@caseynewton @zoeschiffer the bird site has avian flu at this point… ☠️ 🐦
Secret Bartender@caseynewton @zoeschiffer pretty sure for Jira, being broken is the point!
JamesN 
@caseynewton @zoeschiffer I’m an actual expert on this topic and I can assure you that busted is about the best you can hope for with Jira.
Eliot Landrum@caseynewton @zoeschiffer what a ride
Darryl Ramm"Jira is down" ...slight applause, then silence.
"Slack is down" ... sounds of people crying.
Abazigal@caseynewton So back to email and WhatsApp?
Tonio Loewald@zoeschiffer @caseynewton one of the few things I admire about FB is that it (at least when I was there) used its own platform—very effectively—for internal communication, task management, etc. (There was a secure irc server for releases and crisis management because of an incident where FB went down hard.) The fact a social media platform uses a different, less mature, social media platform as a comms channel is just another indication Twitter was always trash.
sub_o@caseynewton @zoeschiffer Oh really, it's the slack deactivation? Not the constant catering towards far right and Putin? Not that he bows down everytime to andy ngo or ian miles cheong? No? It's the slack deactivation?
Simon Cox 
Ron Miller@caseynewton @zoeschiffer How the heck is that site still standing at this point?
Cyberwizard@caseynewton @zoeschiffer slack should have been gone years ago. but slack.com seems to by up and running just fine
@caseynewton @zoeschiffer I though slack was free, guess paid plans exist
@asbestosstar @caseynewton @zoeschiffer You only get like 5000 messages of search history if you don't pay up, probably numbers of users/channels limitations too. It's a freemium model.
@clacke @caseynewton @zoeschiffer oh :( in many ways discord is better from what I have used of both though especially from what you mentioned
