Do you search before asking a question in Slack?

I'm curious to find out what your go-to approach is to finding answers to questions in Slack. Do you search first, every time? Sometimes? Or do you find a "questions" channel and shoot your question in there? Also, if you're someone who _answers_ questions, what are you doing to help people use Slack better?

What do you hate most about Slack?

For years, and especially since the pandemic started, we've been basically living on Slack. What are the worst things about working on Slack for you, and how have you gotten around them? I created Truffle.bot to get around my least favorite thing: answering the same questions over and over.

Emojis are part of the Lingua Franca of the Internet, but sometimes they're not supported by the software you're using. With this Python tool, you can extract all the Apple emojis from the TTF file on your computer, and use them as high-quality PNG files.
