Slack to replace IRC...
-
@Dragoon I wonder how many of those 13 million users are even aware that Microsoft Teams exists.

Looks like Microsoft is looking to replace Slack.
Well, yeah. IIRC Atlassian and Slack were pretty explicit when they teamed up about the fact that Teams was going to be a juggernaut and they'd need to combine their user bases to even compete.

active users, not registered users.

I've seen lots of people using Slack. I've not seen anyone using Teams.

What does "daily" mean in this context, then?
-
@Gąska It means people who use it every day. Dunno what you expected it to mean.
-
@pie_flavor something that would make your post about them not being active users not sound like bullshit.

The Discord ToS has a "we can terminate your access for any reason at any time" clause, so they can get you with either ToS whether it specifically mentions 3rd parties or not.
If that's actually enforceable even for paying customers in any legal system, then that legal system is pretty fucked up.

Hey, it worked, I had forgotten about this and now I am reminded.
This feature almost replaced JIRA for me for a while. When you're writing your own tickets most of the time, the interface of JIRA becomes unbearable pretty quickly.

@MrL That would require me to switch windows…
…er, I mean, no, I don't spend half of my day on private Slack channels, boss!
(The other half is spent drinking coffee in meetings.)

Not really, use browser extension and you can
stay on TDWTFread documentation online all day.

Todoist.I upvoted because I thought you're calling him names. Alas, it's just a semi-popular app.

It is included in our Office 365 subscription so the support team, QA and maybe even sales is using it. Only development is still on Slack as that was what got used before Teams was a thing.

I'm not sure what you imagined me saying. I was saying that the thirteen million active daily users are thirteen million people who actively use it every day, not people who didn't know it existed.

@pie_flavor with MS products, you can totally be an active user without knowing it. It took me half a year to realize I'm using Skype at work (the chat is so well integrated with Outlook web client).

QFT. I recently discovered I'm a user of "Shared Experiences", but I don't recall ever going anything that could be remotely dreamed of as "using" it...

Still not a good excuse to use it

It was pre-installed on my machine at my new company and auto-started. And we use Slack. And I develop on Ubuntu. (Well, got a 2nd machine, so now Outlook can run natively)
