Then surely agree with the people at your work to never use @channel. It's basically the same as 'Reply All', it's a waste of everyone's time.

- tomjen3 9y agoIt is a lot easier (several orders of magnitudes) to change software than to chance people (especially for programmers) - so the focus should be on changing software.
- ivan_ah 9y agoYeah, I've started to persecute the offenders individually by telling them privately how disruptive their @here messages are. It's weird though, because sometimes I want to announce things to everyone, e.g., to bring to everyone's attention something that I've done, but I have to follow my own do-not-spam everyone rule. I guess comms is hard no matter what tools you use. O(n^2) hard, for a team of n people.
