SAN FRANCISCO: Slack has apologized for Hummus Day activity that apparently offended some users.
In an Easter egg, work productivity platform allows users to change their notifications to a woman saying the word hummus, in reference to the Middle Eastern chickpea snack dip. And often on National Hummus Day, the company references the quirk on social media.
TIL: You can change your slack notification from the knock sound to a British woman saying Hummus.
As of Wednesday, plans appeared to be proceeding as usual for this year’s Hummus Day.
What can we say? We really like hummus. Slack (@SlackHQ) May 12, 2021
Our time on this platform has come to an end
Arc Digital debuted right here, right on this platform, in 2016. Today, on the last day of March, 2021, we say goodbye to Medium, our host and partner of almost five years.
Arc is not ending. We are transitioning. Weâll be on a new platform in the coming days. But we are leaving this note at the top because this page will remain in place as a repository of Arcâs past work, and we wanted to signal that with a brief note that closes our Medium chapter.
Our relationship with Medium is â and will continue to be â strongâ¦
