Slack is down for some users

Slack is down for some users Time to figure out a backup plan for talking with your coworkers. Slack is down for some users this morning. Maybe the universe doesn"t want us to go back to work this week. Customers logged on Tuesday morning to find difficulties sending messages, viewing message threads or loading the platform at all. According to Slack"s status update site, something"s not quite right with login/SSO, messaging and posts/files. Slack is currently looking into the issue. Down Detector showed a spike in reports of Slack outages at around 9 am eastern this morning, jumping from 1 to 2,481. According to Slack"s status site, some users weren"t able to connect to the platform for about an hour Monday afternoon. A change in code caused a conflict in the desktop app and web browser, preventing some users from sending messages. The company tweeted that it resolved the issue, but clearly is having more issues today. Slack experienced an hours-long outage in January of 2021, initially caused by an AWS networking error. It"s unclear how long Tuesday"s outage will last. Slack is the digital HQ of choice for many companies, so without it, many may be scrambling to find a way to talk to each other. It"s definitely time to figure out a communication backup plan.
