It also seems like someone at Slack is tasked with driving up engagement, because I get these "Your team is missing you" messages from Slack (only to be find a dead slack community). That might be a sign that they're losing traction?
Used differently I'd say, but can't say I have a 100% view of all the users. My feeling is that various software projects moved to Discord instead (particularly FOSS which feels strange), and Slack seen an uptake in enterprise usage which makes sense considering the new(-ish) owner.
I suppose you're supposed to use the whole Microsoft "ecosystem" for what a single app can do.
Slack won't be 'extinguished' but it will have a falling market share, despite the dumpster fire that is Teams, and the bean-counters in most corporations getting kudos from their bosses for 'cost savings'.
Ive been using them since 2021 iirc and they improved a lot
And im using Discord daily which is state of the art
Calendar and meetings are decent, chat is viable and I dont need more
Whats causing problems for you?
It's the least reliable chat program I've ever used.
Discord is mostly used by devs.
