@SlackHQ - my Slack just uploaded with everyone's profile pictures and it's visual overload! Would love to be able to turn this off in the preferences. I know who is who—what I need at a glance is to know if who's online or off. Please simplify again! Or at least give us opts!
We're sorry you aren't loving the changes! Currently there is no way to turn this off, but we are collecting feedback on the new sidebar and will look to make improvements accordingly.
