TL;DR: I patched my Slack client to keep messages that others delete.
Let's say someone sent me a message, immediately regretted it and tried to delete it. They will think the message got deleted on both ends ("delete for everyone"), but using this patch my client will keep the message anyway and notify me that someone tried to delete it
The backstory is kind of funny - not so long ago my friend had a rant about his former boss. He told me a story of how his former boss accidently sent him a nasty message and then immediately deleted it. My friend wanted to confront him but had no proof because the message was gone too quickly..
