I agree at the time it wasn’t a mistake. It allowed for vast adoption with Slack needing to implement the complexities of a single login accessing (for me) about a dozen workspaces. But from a revenue perspective in 2023, it is a mistake. O

Slack seems to be walking back their mistake 10 years ago of requiring independent logins for each workspace. In slacks new product vision, you don’t sign into multiple workspaces, you sign into your “home” workspace and get invited via Sla
