Wow, Slack does not allow business customers to export their chats. WTF. Found this:

"Workspace Owners can apply for Corporate Export. This lets you export all messages (including DMs and private channels), but only if your company has legal or compliance requirements and Slack approves the request. Once approved, exports are scheduled and delivered automatically."

So they have the tech built, you just aren't allowed to use it. Who would use this piece of garbage?

Let's be honest; how many Slack messages or conversations older than 2-3 weeks still have value?

In Hack Club, a lot. I'm a teen in HC, many projects run for months and have very valuable messages for a long time.

Adding on to this, a lot of people don't want their personal chats deleted either!
