I use the Slack repo for Fedora. slack.repo
[slack]
name=slack
baseurl=https://packagecloud.io/slacktechnologies/slack/fedora/21/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=https://packagecloud.io/gpg.key
sslverify=1
sslcacert=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

Works very well and is updated regularly

More info at https://slack.com/downloads/linux. Also available as a snap
but I avoid snap applications. I seem to recall some security issues with
them a while back.

Best,
Clifford
