>>> I am currently a member on seven Slacks

There's your problem.

I'm pretty surprised that you think Adium and Skype are better products than Slack - neither are the same and they are pretty clearly much worse at team communication, if you can call it that.

That's certainly one of my problems. But I work on multiple projects and every one of them has its own Slack. So what exactly am I supposed to do about that?

I also don't think the situation would be much better if I were only on one Slack. One Slack with multiple channels is more or less equivalent to multiple Slacks (except for the multiple login annoyance).

You can connect to multiple teams within the Slack client at once; it shows an icon for each vertically on the left side of the client if running the desktop client and lists them within a dropdown for the web client. Also, in the desktop client you can press cmd-1, cmd-2, cmd-3, etc. to switch among them.

Oh, I know that. The problem is if I lose my connection then I have to log back in to each one separately.

I'd say "There's Slack's problem". Having different emails and password to each and every Slack account you have is tedious to work with. Would be cool to have a single account to manage all workspaces. Kind of like you can join multiple repos as a collaborator on Github with your personal account.
