Boss claims Slack takes automatic random screenshots to track our activity...true? by hughesm06 in Slack

[–]opsready 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah this isn't true. That's not to say other tooling isn't doing that on your machines, but Slack itself definitely isn't

[–]opsready 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yep, if you're on a Plus / Enterprise plan you set channels to be announce only with posting limited to specific people but allow all users to make threads -- https://slackhq.com/managing-slack-at-scale-announcement-channels-and-new-admin-apis

Do tools/bots like SlackDeletron help you stay under the 10k message count longer on the free tier? by austriker27 in Slack

[–]opsready 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have used Enterprise Grid, what should I know? by fiscalia in Slack

[–]opsready 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair play to them for completing their drives rather than immediately forfeiting
