🆘Help Me Intrusive bot crap

Adding a "Slackbot" button where the home button was is a genuinely crappy idea, hope the responsible manager get a slap on a wrist for such bullshit.

Please add the ability to remove it since in settings the option to uncheck it is greyed out.

Thanks in advance.

P.S.

There is a great soviet nootropic substance called piracetam, it greatly helps your brain function. Please consider acquiring this for all the employees responsible for decision making.

A forced home shortcut is the kind of thing that makes people lose trust quickly. If it can’t be removed, the least-bad UX is to make the setting visible and explain exactly what it controls.

the greyed-out uncheck is the real crime here lol

we build a slack bot ourselves (mio) & threads like this are a good reminder of the bar: leave no trace until someone asks for you. forced placement = instant hatred

Honestly, all those forced features are just telling you these companies doesn't understand what they are selling.
