Sad to hear this, I heard of this extortionist behavior with Heroku before but Slack is unprecedented.

Of all communities I wonder why Hack Club was targeted though. One of the truly good ones.



You mean a chat company that raise $1.3 billion (!!!) and got bought for nearly $28 billion (!!!) is acting greedy?

Slack is IRC with bells and whistles. Like yes I get that group chat is a necessity for today’s workforce. But it is still just group chat, a solved problem from a technical point of view.


Heroku and Slack are both owned by Salesforce. If they do it with one of their businesses you should expect it with the others.


Unprecedented? From this company? Are you serious?


First time I heard this kind of thing for Slack, Heroku got instances before. I know both are owned by Salesforce, just want to make things clear.
