I can't post the link since it was posted 7 months ago.

Per the official status page "Some users are experiencing issues loading Slack, including Threads, Saved items, API hyperlinks, and group DMs/channels"

Yep. Was experiencing this at least as far back as 4 hours ago.

It's driving us crazy over here too.

My “Threads” won’t unbold- it’s literally giving me anxiety

I had to pull out the big guns, shift + escape.

It will clear your anxiety, or at least help a little!

What does that do?

It marks every message in a Slack workspace as read -- fixed my problem!

OMG, thank you.

I have this happen for a few minutes at a time a handful of times every week. For me at least, this is just how Slack Is now. It's amazing how much slower and buggier it's gotten over the last couple years

How hard is it to keep a chat app from sucking?

Thank you for posting. I thought it was just my slack.

Super frustrating bug. We provide support via Slack and it's driving me crazy not knowing if a customer has asked a question or if it's the bug. We're luckier than most since we build a product that keeps track of unanswered questions from customers in Slack, but I couldn't imagine trying to provide support just using regular threads / unread indicators. Would almost rather Slack was down instead of confusing.

We are using workplace chat instead of Slack. Shall I feel happy???

kidding aside, would you recommend it over slack?

I had the same issues yesterday. However today, Slack says, "Slack is trying to connect."

Edit: restarting slack resolved the connection issue.
