I dislike slack more than anyone I know. Awful tool that’s nearly impossible to use well at any scale.
But if you’re seeing gendered pronoun slack bot text (ex. one about avoiding using “guys”) those were added by someone at your org.
I was at such an org.
I was at another where slackbot and the ability for anyone to modify it was completely disabled.
Didn’t make slack any better though.
