Slack's infamous notification flowchart resurfaces as OpenAI/Anthropic's Slack reliance debated
var_epsilon · x · 2026-10-29
A giant flowchart of Slack's notification decision logic went viral: dozens of branches covering mutes, DnD, @channel suppression, threadseverything, channel/global per-device prefs and mobile push timing before reaching YES/NO. It was a reply to tenobrus' take that OpenAI and Anthropic still using Slack is baffling — a 10-person team could build a more secure, robust internal version, likely within six months. The chart is the counterpoint: replacing Slack means inheriting all this complexity.
