The problem that @archelaus is describing is related to glibc-2.28, most electron apps are affected. see the following threads:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/59550

Skype AUR has included the workaround described by wbdana and now it works. Maybe you could do the same so the package works automatically while this bug is solved upstream.

I have the same issue as @archelaus. I don't have a solution for it, but I see that the problem is not quite new and you can find something about it in the Google.
Another temporary solution would be to install slack from a snap package.
Running slack returns : Segmentation fault (core dumped)
@wbdana thank you very much. It worked!
@lira I also had the same problem. @hashstat 's solution (with @andris 's edit) worked for me (thanks you two!).
So what I did was:
mkdir /opt/glibc-2.27
sudo bsdtar xf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/glibc-2.27-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz --cd /opt/glibc-2.27
sudo patchelf --set-interpreter /opt/glibc-2.27/usr/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --set-rpath \$ORIGIN:\$ORIGIN/lib/:/opt/glibc-2.27/usr/lib/ /usr/bin/slack
Then I could run slack normally.
I cannot start the slack. I have the same problem of @bararchy. How can I resolve it?
One can avoid need to specify LD_LIBRARY_PATH by setting also -rpath with patchelf
patchelf --set-interpreter /opt/glibc-2.27/usr/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 \
--set-rpath \$ORIGIN:\$ORIGIN/lib/:/opt/glibc-2.27/usr/lib/ \
/usr/bin/slack
Note that slack-desktop already uses -rpath and /opt/glibc-2.27/usr/lib/ must be added to it as in command above
Thanks @hashstat! I am also facing a problem with links not opening on the browser.
@bararchy Are you launching slack with the modified LD_LIBRARY_PATH as in @hashstat's comment in the end? Because I had the same issue, before I did that.

Please, don't ask for add
lsb-releaseas dependency. In Arch Linux this package is not needed to run Slack Desktop.And before asking for any other dependency as
makeorpatchor whatever, please read the wiki.
