Slack's UI has "improved" to the point where it's barely usable.

The once-excellent text snippet capability now reformats everything you type, and if you have larger sized fonts turned on, it has no way to dismiss it w/o guessing which button is selected via tab.

And I'm sure as fuck not gonna use discord, cuz "age verification" is just surveillance.

And Matrix/Element is simply shite.

Am I really gonna have to go back to IRC?
