What's there to change in Slack, though? It's arguably a messaging system, and that feature is tried and tested. That, and giphys, to be honest.

EDIT: Guys it was a joke, chill

HN's tolerance for jokes and sarcasm is extremely low.

I'm not sure about that. I feel like I get more upvotes from sarcasm and jokes than from insight. In this instance, I think it's because when people hear something dumb said seriously in real life, they're not going to readily recognize online that it's a joke.

Yeah, Poe’s law applies here. That’s definitely something someone less informed might say in earnest.

Yeah, there was other thread about Uber, where similar sentiment was seriously debated there, so I didn't recognise this as sarcasm either.
