No it isn't.
EDIT:
OK to explaind on this just a bit. Slack is a Searchable Log of All Conversation and Knowledge. That's all it is. If all you do is talk shit on there, it's going to be a repository of shit talking and that's not slacks fault.
Personally, slack has saved me a countless amount of time at work. Having a technical problem? Search slack, someone probably asked about it and there's a solution for that. If there's no answer, asking in the right channel will usually get it answered pretty quickly.
Especially as a remote company, slack or a tool like it is pretty indispensable for working with my team. And yes, we talk a lot of shit on there and those conversations happen in shit talking channels which means they don't clutter the productive channels but I can still bond with my team a bit.
I guess like any tool, it's about how you use it. In this case though I don't think you can blame the tool even though slack is definitely not perfect. It's definitely far from Facebook, I honestly think you'd win some kind of record with that stretch.
perfect. yeah I love slack. people can post their FB shit in #random but the team chat is a great way to get and find answers.
