I decided I wanted to learn to solve a Rubik's cube, so I bought a Rubik's cube. And then I starting Googling, and learned that one does not simply *solve* a Rubik's cube. One must make lifestyle choices. https://t.co/rkOuAb8z2S — PolitiTweet.org

Update: I asked Slack what it made of all the worries about bullying and harassment made possible by Connect DMs. (I should have pushed harder on this sooner, too.) The company is making changes, starting with removing the customized messages from invitations https://t.co/vbXV0QDSZV — PolitiTweet.org

@ewindisch It depends on the Slack setup — some plans allow account owners (I think that's what they're called) to see DMs, others don't. I think in principle it's basically the same as corporate email or phone — PolitiTweet.org

David Pierce @pierce

@richardiporter @daveadams @ewindisch @signalapp This is 100% true and good advice. But honestly I think most people don't care? Corporate email and phones are even easier for bosses to see, and people have rolled with that for decades. This one doesn't strike me as notably scarier than those? — PolitiTweet.org

David Pierce @pierce

@RangerRick To be fair this isn't totally true. You have to opt-in to every single DM, and you can disconnect anything you want — which makes it a lot harder for people to spam you or harass you, I think? — PolitiTweet.org
