Well.. I have yet to post a GIF to my work Slack. I don't even allow emoji.

- majewsky 8y agoI try to use emoji as little as possible myself, but one thing that I find genuinely useful are emoji reactions, because they don't generate notifications. When someone writes "I'm gonna $do_thing if that's okay with you", I can send a :thumbsup: reaction and they won't be disturbed by the notification, yet they can immediately see if I answered. Or when someone has a baby and posts the obligatory image to the team channel, people can pile up those reactions without my phone going pling-pling-pling-pling. (To be fair, the same can be said about threads, but in my experience, people are way more consistent about using emoji reactions than they are about properly threading their conversations.)
