so it seems fitting.

Do people go around looking for Swastikas in stuff? Even if I was a conspiracy theorist, an X is still an X. Especially when it’s not even a symmetrical X, you’re really pulling at strings I think.

With the Slack logo, at least there was something tangible. Here there isn’t.

Is there something tangible? Slack’s logo is a symbol that suggests clockwise rotation while the version of the swastika that the Nazis used is a symbol that suggests counterclockwise rotation.

Especially given that the Nazis appropriated one version of a symbol that had many other versions/uses/meanings in different cultures, do we really need to equate every symbol or logo that has remote similarities to the swastika with Nazism?

Neither saying that Slack’s logo is a swastika nor that it’s a Nazi swastika. But there’s a certain similarity to a swastika which doesn’t exist with the X logo.
