While Slack allows users to choose from skin tone options for its static emojis, the animated emoji options are not as inclusive.īecause those emojis didn't fully reflect our unique and diverse personnel, a group of Bounteous team members recently recreated a hackathon project to solve the problem by creating a range of diverse animated Slack emojis. However, several of our team members noticed a problem with our emoji library. We've added to the default Slack emojis over the years with custom emojis either found online or custom-created. Slack helps mitigate those feelings of intimidation by bringing an element of fun to the workplace in a casual way. However, we recognize that showing your true personality while at work can be intimidating.
