OK one more! Beyond out of hours..
A huge huge problem with slack versus email is out-of-office behaviors.
In outlook, I set myself OOO in calendar, create a scheduled OOO response with active dates and audience types to respond / not respond to (internal/external).
It's like 3 clicks, and defaults to the same message I always use, and I have to set myself OOO in calendar already anyway so people don't book meetings / my boss knows I am out.
In Slack, I mark myself away, set my status to OOO, put a stupid little palm try icon up, disable notifications and...
AND I still get people blasting me with DMs as if I am working. I come back to a mess of unreads I need a couple hours to unwind as I scroll up channels/DMs/etc.
Users can even force notifications through against my will (except that I disabled them at OS level :-) ).
Slack needs an OOO response tool, and even the ability to block senders to go a step further.
