Important tech tip for Slack users not sold on the new "design"
If you hard-refresh Slack Command-Shift-R, and then type Command-Shift-S, you get an extra vertical sidebar that disaggregates your individual slacks.
Thanks to @snarkout who has improved my life for the better, this day.
In other New Slack news: you can now ditch the gradient. I like to think this update addressed MY concerns specifically but I suspect they just got a lot of negative feedback.
"We just released an update to the Slack app to address your concerns with the gradient! Please refresh Slack, navigate to Preferences > Themes > Customize, and you should see the ability to adjust the gradient on/off and sidebar contrast."
