That's a cultural problem, not a technical one.
Slack gets work done just because the bad practices haven't migrated to it yet, not because it's a better communication medium.
In some spaces the email bad practices have migrated to slack too and personally I have to ignore slack just as much as email because of that.

- andrewprock 7y agoI have seen plenty of bad practices in slack. In particular, there is more and more of a tendency to treat slack as "publication of record" as opposed to "ephemeral missives".
