>Slack is straight up painful compared to their chat system.
As someone who vastly prefers Slack over all its competitors, I'm very interested in hearing how Meta's compares. What makes it better than Slack for you?

However the combination of the "newsgroup" and chat makes it kinda better than slack on it's own.
Would I use workplace at a new startup? probably not. I would use slack though.
I’ve seen sub 500 employee companies and Slack kicks ass, but it seems once it goes over 1k it’s like glhf managing channels and bots.
Butterfly bot integration to workplace was really something.
Workplace def overkill sub ~ 600 users though.
On the other hand, building all these connections between the disparate apps is basically my job, so it’s got its positives.
Once your company reaches a sufficient size (maybe 300+ employees?), Slack channels just become so clunky and tedious for trying to keep up with projects and discussions. Using Slack keyword notifications helps cut through the noise, but I really think applying Facebook's ranking/Groups expertise to work-related content has been the best solution I've seen so far. You're no longer inundated with unread channels that may or may not have messages relevant to you, Workplace just surfaces the relevant content (and obviously there's chat/mentions for more pressing issues).
