Agree, it's not really a true representation for most of us - Slack uptime. Since Slack is server-first, it becomes apparent if the server serving you is down.When we built Ano (https://ano.chat), we focused on local-first, meaning only mutations are streamed to the client - less data, optimistic writing and faster all around.I vote for transparent uptimes!
