- watwut 5y agoFor which, I am thankful to them. Nothing better then dozens of irrelevant chat messages in larger group chats I am member of that I cant mute, because once in a while there is something important.

- BeFlatXIII 5y agoI mute them anyway because I won’t see the important message among all the chit-chat notifications, so I cut the middleman.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoWhich is fair, as long as it's concrete, the addressee is actually available and on the clock, and the question can only be answered by that person. I'm active on a programming language Slack space, what sometimes happens is that people are DMed directly with a generic / open question that dozens of others could also answer.
