Body of the toot:

Absolutely unbelievable but here we are. #Slack by default using messages, files etc for building and training #LLM models, enabled by default and opting out requires a manual email from the workspace owner.

We just got forced to ditch slack for teams despite a massive effort from myself and a few others to justify the cost of the platform.

Kind of glad we didn't get sign off now because this would have been egg on my face.

We started using Teams a few years ago. You can feel gigabytes of Javascript running on the background just by going from one channel to another. Terrific job.

I wouldn't mind the performance issues if the experience was even just slightly better. I can never find what I need on teams, messages just get lost in the ether.

and why the hell do I have to clear two separate notifications if someone reacts to a message? who the fuck thought that was desirable functionality?
