This is a very good point. The unifying mechanism for notifications was generally missing across all the varying tools but something like Slack means it’s impossible to miss content no matter how hard you try.
- dasil003 4y agoThis kind of sarcasm falls flat since slack has very fine grained notification preferences. You can make it as loud or quiet as you want. Of course if your workplace culture doesn’t support IC focus, then you have much bigger problems.
- pseudalopex 4y agoSlack combines addressed to you, important, and time sensitive. Limiting Slack to certain things mitigates this. But they push it as all purpose. And they shut down tools that gave more control.

- dasil003 4y agoWhat tools did they shut down that gave more control? I am subscribed to over 200 channels at my company as well as 4-5 other community Slacks. The controls they provide are fully adequate to tune to my preferences (which involves minimal distraction for deep focus, while still maintaining aware of important incidents and other updates).
