Fresh full system update as of yesterday and Slack didn't work but I solved with below.
I had freetype2 2.6.3-1 and clearing my ~/.config/Slack folder did not work.
What did work was downgrading freetype2 as suggested by quest to:
freetype2-2.6.2-1
May still need to clear ~/.config/Slack after package downgrade and may want to add to ignore list unless have dependencies for newer freetype2.

My UI fails to load and I am getting the following error message in ~/.config/Slack/logs/renderer-*.log
Uncaught TypeError: global.ga is not a function

I'm getting "“slack” terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)" error after updating to 2.0.3-1.

I removed the Slack config folder, and this time I got to the 2FA screen. Typed it in, continued... still get stuck at "Connecting..."

Mine is working right now.
I have freetype2 2.6.3-1 and just removed the ~/.config/Slack folder to make it work again.

@quest I've never had this issue before, not even when the other people had the freetype problem. I am using freetype2-infinality-ultimate anyway, and it's always worked, only this update it stopped working.
I won't downgrade, I'll just use the web for now.

The issue is with freetype. There are details in the thread below your comments. The best way to fix this is to get the old freetype package and downgrade it.
Just edit your /etc/pacman.conf and add:
IgnorePkg = freetype2
Then download the old freetype package and run:
sudo pacman -U freetype2-2.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

@jeroni @Brottweiler @marmotz
Seems a problem with Slack itself not the package.
You can try read logs into ~/.config/Slack/logs and send to Slack Team (https://slack.com/help/contact).

Same problem here and remove ~/.config/Slack did not fix it.

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.
