I think you're missing my original point somewhat. I was just
expressing some ongoing incredulity at the level of sensitive data
people were exposing to Slack. Not that people choose to use Slack for
anything.

I'm holding it to the same standard I hold any service to, and I
filter data as appropriate for ones I do use. If you don't, that's
fine, but you should be at least cognisant of the security of
services you're using and adjust your trust levels accordingly.
Many people I've spoken to seem to just naively assume Slack is
secure, and that anything they say through it is private, when it's
not.
My point is that Slack is no more or less secure than the myriad other
tools which (I would wager) the vast majority of sysadmin teams --
including as noted earlier ones with decently-enforced
security-mandates -- use on a regular basis.
Perhaps you generally fall into the "far more secure than most"
category, and you eschew Google's mail/docs/calendaring, and you don't
use github (even when you're paying for the premium level that
includes privacy), and you wouldn't think of using a cloud-based
ticketing system like Atlassian OnDemand.
If so, kudos to you. I have no idea how you get anything accomplished
on a daily basis. :-)
