Slack deletes data from free workspaces after one year Posted into English articles @english-articles-heiseonline

> Notice of Slack’s new content deletion policy for free workspaces > Free workspace content older than one year will be deleted new? am i really the only person here who remembers last time they announced this? like after their 2nd round of funding? it was one of the 3 main reasons we tabled at work for ditching slack so many years ago.

"Slack will no longer keep messages and files for the lifetime of your free workspace. Starting August 26, 2024, Customer Data — such as messages and file history — older than one year may be deleted on a rolling basis from workspaces on the free plan." Wow... that's a lot of collective memory that's about to be purged.
