Not sure how long this will work, but for now you can do:

$ export SLACK_DEVELOPER_MENU=true ; slack &> /dev/null &

Once it's running, type ctrl+alt+i. Click the Console tab and paste this 
at the bottom command line:

localStorage.setItem("localConfig_v2", 
localStorage.getItem("localConfig_v2").replace(/\"is_unified_user_client_enabled\":true/g, 
'\"is_unified_user_client_enabled\":false'))

Then type ctrl+r to reload and have it take effect. Should have the old 
Slack back. Note that it will revert on next restart, so when it crashes 
(as Slack does sometimes) you'll have to go through the process again.
