IMPORTANT: Scheduled Slack Enterprise Grid migration maintenance

[ajhalili2006]

Previously on the Hack Club Slack, courtersy of @maxwofford:

Hey all! I’m putting up a notice that the Hack Club Slack will have scheduled downtime starting tomorrow, Monday 10AM EST, as we move over to the new workspace and auth system. As a quick reminder, now that we are moving over to Slack grid, we have a new login system being released. If you want to keep your slack account, make sure the email address you have attached to it is usable.

What do I need to know?

• you will use the same email to sign into slack, but on a new platform (make sure you can still access your email if you used a school address)
• the slack will be intermittently unavailable starting at 10 am
• services that rely on “sign in with slack” may be unavailable during this time
• the downtime window is 48 hours, or until Wed at 10AM

If you want to find fellow Hack Clubbers outside the Slack or to discuss about this, please reply in this GitHub discussion thread. The Alumni Society (@hackclub-alumni)'s GitHub profile README at https://github.com/hackclub-alumni/meta/blob/main/README.md has linked some curated places where you can meet fellow Hack Clubbers, with updates coming later today (or tonight depending on timezone).

UPDATE 2025-11-25 00:31 (PHT): Migration should be started shortly at this point. Expect 21 hours or so of downtime.

UPDATE 2025-11-25 12:11 (PHT): Track the migration status at https://are-we-there-yet.hackclub.com/. As of time of writing, we're at 78.95% with users and DMs still in the progress.

Already updated @hackclub-alumni's org README with some updates on finding fellow HCers outside the Slack and the "unofficial community spaces" banner (per the CoC).

In the meanwhile, there's a Zoom meeting call where everyone has been hanging out until the maintenance starts. Not going to link here for safety and privacy reasons.

Please don't try to sign in with HC Accounts yet while migration is ongoing behind the scenes.

EDIT 00:41: Here's the screenshot for context.

And we're signed out from everybody's devices. See you at the IRC (irc.hackclub.com, port 6697 TLS / 6667) for the next 21+ hours.

We're back! You can rejoin at hackclub.slack.com. Still ironing out some kinks in the new user flow, but if you already had a hack club slack account you can get back in now.

(probably late reply I guess) Thanks for the update, Max! I'll be updating the description and locking this as resolved for good soon.
