Slack seems to work around keeping people looking without context
A well designed and well run slack requires a thoughtful setup and we’ll trained users which itself can become a barrier to participating.
In the free slack world, far too much information is lost after 90days and those slack communities stagnant and die. Slack could offer tools free for non profits and join the other software tools who help support open source projects.
- JoyfulTurkey 3y agoI agree on the notifications thing. A few friends and I are doing some side consulting and decided to use a Google Space within our public Gmail accounts. It has worked great and I haven't missed a thing, especially with the Gmail app on the phone, but I can mute pretty easily if I want to.
- midasuni 3y agoWhy do you have notifications turned on? I have notifications on a couple of critics channels where time critical incidents are logged, they fire every month or two and that’s where I want to stop what I’m doing and look at those. With teams however I can’t seem to find a way of muting corporate spam channels, so I have to keep the program closed when deep working. I prefer teams to zoom now I’m afraid, the persistence of meeting chat windows for example, but for textual collaboration slack is orders of magnitude better. Maybe because we have managed to get our entire organisation at least federated and most channels are global or in large enough departments that you only need to be in one or at most two.
