My employer had a great culture of talking things out in public channels, but after the acquisition, nearly everything is in private channels & DMs now. For some things, I've explicitly told people: "can you copy and paste this question in our support channel, so I can answer there?" But for a lot of things, I've just accepted that this is the new normal, and for some of it, I even understand why it is the way it is.
