@vasta This hit in a weird way for me. My organization uses Slack, but it's always felt to me like they're doing it wrong. Most of our channels are private, so I can't find them without being invited. I frequently ask if they're discussing nuclear codes when someone invites me to a private channel. But beyond that, most conversation happens in threads (which don't mark a channel as unread) or in DMs (which again, is private).
@vasta Spot on in regards to a focus on closed communications. The way notifications work even puts more prominence on closed chats between team members. Trying to start a conversation within a Team channel is kin to shouting into the void. Team members often miss them because the notification alerts are confusing to understand.
