Slack’s composer really is terrible now, isn’t it.
@simonwoods If you haven't seen it, there's an Advanced setting for "Format messages with markup" you might prefer.
@jack Oh yes! Thank you! I totally forgot about that.
@vasta I haven't tried on mobile yet but not at all surprised that it's bad.

I feel I'm posting significantly less since the change.
Feature, not bug? 😉 (Unless you really do need to use Slack for actual important things, of course.)
@smokey @vasta Slack speaks to the larger problem with the way we work, especially those in the "Knowledge Industry"; constantly chasing the new miracle software that is going to balance out our inability to focus and improve our communication in a sustainable fashion.
If it wasn't for Micro.blog I wouldn't be in any Slack team, although I'm not impractical to the point of refusing to use it if that's what a group of people I might work with decide to do.
constantly chasing the new miracle software
This is a problem of half the software industry (the flashy/known-about/etc. part).
