Where Slack keeps its logs

Slack logs to %APPDATA%\Slack\ on Windows.

Slack logs to ~/Library/Application Support/Slack/logs/ on macOS.

Slack logs to ~/.config/Slack/logs/ on Linux.

Paths are printed exactly as Slack writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
