I wouldn't call it sane.
Why do I have to sign up for different Slack organizations and have a different password for each one?
Why can't I private message someone on Slack with just a username?
I think Discord does this much better.

I think it is worthwhile to think of each Slack organization as a completely independent and isolated network. This is one way that they can reasonably give some security to their corporate customers. I don't believe that there is any intention to ever lat you send a blind message to someone on another Slack organization, but maybe I am wrong there.
It would absolutely be nice however for me, as a user who is in multiple organizations, to be able to log in one time and have all of them be connected.
I’m sure Slack is using their vast resources and large team to solve these problems at this point, but it probably hasn’t been easy to create a horizontally scalable system from the early codebase, especially when the data model was designed for a single team of users.
