Looking over the Slack side bar and realizing it is at 3/10 "buttons that are there for me" and 7/10 "buttons that are there to make a product manager happy"

@mcc you are right to not click on (or care about) 'create new'
@fluffy Hmm… under some circumstances I might make a huddle, but I would probably do it with a smaller "+" inside of a channel where I wish to make a huddle.
"Canvas", assuming that's a whiteboard/pegboard feature, looks like an exciting feature that I *would* have wanted and used back before Slack started adding AI products. Now I can't trust it to not try to AI-ify my material like Canva or Miro started doing.
Is +->List redundant with the "To Do" tab?
@mcc I have never clicked on to do and have no plans to
@fluffy it's like ok slack has always been Dropbox, so I can imagine a world where slack, dropbox, trello, miro all converge on one app but… to get me to replace other services I'm happy with slack needs to start by making me trust them. Trust them more than those other companies. And "no no don't use the app the way you use it use my NEW thing" isn't reassuring. What if I start using todos and then in a year they fuck it up to try to get you to use "epics" instead
@mcc yeah I agree, to me slack is just "IRC but corporate" and it should stay that way. I'm so glad that I don't have to use it for work anymore, I'd be absolutely tearing my hair out if I did
@mcc there were a few community slacks that I was pretty active on for a while but the only one I use anymore is the songfight one since that's where we do admin chat because we're too lazy to move it to discord even though most of the actual songfight community chat is on discord now anyway
and the other community slacks I ended up leaving either due to disinterest or getting fed up with the admins and internal cultures for various reasons
@mcc and come to think of it all of my actual job-like things are all on discord now, which is kind of funny to me given as how the dichotomy used to be "Discord is Slack for gamers" and "Slack is Discord for businesses" and here I am doing business on Discord
@mcc in particular, if you open "activity", there is a "DMs" tab in there ...
@mcc I have changed your sidebar order.
Pray I do not change it further
