I think we need to differentiate between just works and barely works. With Slack I think someone decided to go full dot-com and throw away everything known about human communication so they could learn it again by trial and error. You can’t mute bots, you can’t mute plugins, can’t add someone to a private conversation, anyone can auto-join you to any channel, api is full of typemorphic elements that encode their type within themselves, don’t get me started about Slack threads.
