That’s all.

EDIT: Thank you all for detailing your experience with, and hatred for, this miserable product. Your display of solidarity is inspiring. Now, say it with me:

Fuck Microsoft

    Gotta say, formatting of text isn’t a high priority for me… I’m pinging someone about a thing, I’m not writing a presentation. Adding emojis is about as much as I need 🤔

    And - to me - adding people to an adhoc group call / chat is straight forwards - and finding those conversations later is too

    But, I believe that there’s a few Corp IT settings that can be adjusted (we’ve recently lost the ability to add gifs for example), so maybe that’s what’s going wrong.

    But we’re a long way from AOL IM 😉

      I send code snippets, quote sections of linked documents, and provide in-line links pretty often, kind of like here on Lemmy. Slack isn’t as nice as Markdown, but it’s good enough, whereas Teams is a complete pain in in the butt and it completely butchers code blocks. That said, I’m a team lead, so I fairly frequently post about recent releases, security issues, or give cliff notes of recent meetings, so formatting for me matters quite a bit.

      And for calls, we have multiple logical groups of people, such as:

      • development teams
      • team leads (for all teams)
      • groups by location
      • groups by role (developers, QA, etc)
      • release groups - may be part of a team, multiple teams, or parts of multiple teams
      • automated alerts when prod has an issue

      And we have ad-hoc group chats where just a handful of people need to be involved, but they don’t fit cleanly into one of the established groups above (e.g. project manager wants to know a rough estimate for an upcoming project).

      Teams works fine, but I find it annoying to use.
