Please ask them what they think of the ‘drafts’ section. I’m so fed up of losing chats to that section.

I'm surprised that hasn't been reverted yet. It's so fucking stupid. Where did that chat go? oh it's up in drafts? WTF?

Terrible UI choice. It makes no sense.

It would be okay if the channel were duplicated in the drafts section. But moved? That definitely makes no sense.

I find it very ironic how much slack is moving towards an email UI, given their "goal" to eradicate email a while ago.

You can send it directly via /feedback, too. It gets read, and you'll get an answer too.

I complain via my company's slack so they know the observation is from a paying customer

Don't get me wrong, the "you'll get an answer" is almost always the same "thank you for your input" but at least it creates a Zendesk ticket from a paying customer, in contrast to whining on HN or Twitter, where I am about dead certain no corporate OKR is influenced
