Readit NewsI like the idea but why would I pay to trust you with my most inner thoughts?
Would tend to agree. Interesting concept but unless it's all encrypted, I wouldn't trust this at all.
"A tech-savvy San Francisco resident"
Nope. Connecting your washing machine to the internet isn't the act of a tech-savvy person.
Connecting your washing machine to the internet and then observing the outgoing traffic and knowing that it is obscenely high simply IS tech-savvy as compared to the average person.
On HN or similar circles, maybe not - but that isn't Newsweek's audience.

Not sure if it might be related to specific instances, i.e. large organizations with hundreds of channels, etc like in my case... still, my workstation is pretty beefy, threadripper pro 7985wx, 256GB RAM, RTX 4080 (and this is no software issue, as other, much more resource intensive apps run just fine)... though slack is unmistakably sluggish, to the point of me being frustrated enough with it to complain about it here :)
just hate it.
Yeah I mean - that machine isn't going to struggle with much!
I'm on an M1 Mac and it's pretty smooth. Of course, maybe I just have terribly low standards.

Yeah they fucked Heroku hard. I used to love Heroku. Can’t imagine there’s many people still left using it now.
Hundreds of thousands, in fact. But I bet it’s a downward trend with no hope of a turnaround.

Slack is such a bloated, slow, piece of crap, every single keystroke gives me pain, that sluggish slow UI response, sometimes there are random unexplained jumps somewhere, no wonder web apps have such a bad reputation. My company forces us to use it, and it is sooo bad.
I am fairly indifferent to Slack - I have to use it for work.
But our experiences seem so vastly different: - UI is, with the exception of large media, snappy and pretty native feeling - no jumps (that I can recall)
The mobile app is okayish though its offline indication and notifications are a bit frustrating.
What machine are you running it on?
I fixed my poetry website[1] - mainly by ripping out TailwindCSS and replacing it with a few lines of vanilla CSS, and adding a canvas library so I could include some of my graphic poems[2] on the site. I also wrote some new poems to complete the spruce-up.
