Why would you accept an email from someone unless they were paying someone to monitor emails on a full time basis?
Maybe it's just the way the companies I've worked at have used slack, but it's never been expected to be any more "real time" than email.

In my experience: if "joining slack" means you spend a lot of time chatting about random things and get to know the people privately, you're not doing your job and the work culture is a red flag. I've seen people do the same via email, where they quickly spiral out of work and end up sending each other pics of their pets all day. I don't think it's a medium thing, it's a people thing.
