Whenever someone sends me a DM, I usually reply with a "please use #tech" or whatever the relevant channel is.
Our company onboarding guide includes the line: "All communication on slack _must_ be in public channels. All emails must be cc'ed to a mailing list." Of course there are sane exceptions to this, but everyone follows this generally, and we get >90% public communication over slack every month.
Our current stats are:
>95% public channels, 0% private channels, 4% DMs (>1M messages)
- LinuxBender 10y agoYou probably know this, but any public channel a user is in can be relayed to a 3rd party (entirely) if that user subscribes to an app that was approved. All of those messages are also available for any of your admins to pull on demand. All of this said, I'm sure your org is ultra careful what things you talk about in Slack. I am just saying this in the event someone doesn't know.
