I find the Slack mute (away) doesn't quite do what I want. There is still a visual display in the icon tray that indicates that conversation is going on. Short of closing out of Slack entirely there doesn't appear to be a way to make it remove all auditory and visual notifications that new messages are coming in. I would love to have more control over what kinds of auditory and visual notifications can appear when away or not away and be able to specify what can trigger them. Which right now slack is very limiting on those kinds of settings.

Personally I hide the icon as well. It's entirely possible for me to not know when there is chat activity unless and until I want to.

On Mac OS you can just put your computer on Do Not Disturb and notifications stop happening. I use it all the time. Sure the icon still updates, but it's invisible until you look at it.
