    I took a look at a video at slack.com. It really just looks like FTN echomail as email messages. ;)

    ;) I'm not sure why people use slack. There are also many open source alternatives:

    Matrix, XMPP, Mattermost, RocketChat, ...

    Actually, I find Slack feels more like IRC than email

    I work for a 12,000+ person tech company, we all use Slack. I've gone from
    the bad old days of 1 email inbox with 100 messages per day to 70 Slack channels with a 50 messages a day.

    So I now have 70 inboxes.

    But on the bright side, hardly any emails :)

    I feel your pain. My local office uses 60 Slack seats, the other 169,940 people in the company use Teams.
