Chat services such as Slack, and social media like Twitter, are excellent ways to communicate. It's pretty simple. If you implement a request system so that both parties have to agree to let the other send messages, all of the problems are solved. There's no good reason that we need a system that allows anyone to send an arbitrary number of messages to anyone else.

Nonetheless, communication over the internet without spam is a solved problem, whether or not we choose to take advantage of the solutions.
