If you have to ignore your colleagues you have far worse problems than Slack not having an "ignore user" feature.
- user5994461 9y agoThe problem is well identified. It's Slack.
- lithos 9y agoSlack is also used for some casual communities as well. For instance if I were to use the Screeps/EVE Online slack like I do a work one, I'd never be off my phone.

Slack's been pretty clear that they don't want their product to be used for this use case, and have even nudged some larger "casual" communities and open-source projects off. So it's not surprising that they plan their feature roadmap according to what (they think) will be useful to businesses.

Or, try using any number of bots. I'm in a few mandatory channels of zero relevance (ok, mute) and a few of high relevance that are punctuated with lots of bot chatter I'd like to ignore. And, sure, there are a few coworkers I'd prefer to ignore. Even IRC will let you manage notifications with more granularity than Slack will.
