Maybe businesses will stop forcing “free” Teams on their workforces now. What a pile of shit.
I fucking hate teams, I swear every single day it iritatea me, and at least once a week I find something new I hate about it. This week, it keeps pinning my self-chat. Which I don’t use. If it lets me unpin it, it’ll end up pinned again within a couple of days.
It is a huge source of frustration for me at work as well. It is slow, it has too many weird and ill-defined features shoved in, it is difficult to search, the WYSIWIG markdown features are fuckulated, it crashes regularly, there is too much wasted/negative space in the UI, and worst of all, it makes me sad in my heart.
What's a better alternative? I was a big fan of Teams back when I worked with an org that used it
How? It can't even handle copy/pasting text without fucking up the formatting.
Creating new SharePoint sites whenever you start a chat so that you have a whole new way to lose your documents?
Better alternative? Pretty much any other chat app.
Slack and Mattermost
Slack is my modern go-to, but I still also use IRC. Slack has great support for technical chat, doesn’t slow my i7 with 32GB RAM to a crawl, has great multiple account support and even voice chat if you are into that. I prefer zoom for video when I need it, but slack’s isn’t nearly as shit as teams.
