Just to be transparent, your messages on Slack are not Transient nor disappearing from storage. I can go back right now and pull up all history in public channels from any time period I want (via the slack history download feature they support). I am also pretty sure this is not restricted to just Slack admins.

So maybe don’t let loose too much : )
