> I don't want to be that person that's not reachable but more and more, I'm thinking about closing Slack and opening it 2-3x a day. What's wrong with that? That's how many people work with Slack (myself included). I don't answer whenever someone asks me something; I answer in a specific allocated timeslot during the day (2 to be precise: the very first thing in the morning, and 2h before finishing my day)

+1 And if you're in a role where you are expected to respond promptly (say, you're an SRE or sysadmin that's on-call) there should be other, better avenues to reach out like a ticketing system, pagerduty or opsgenie, etc.
