Rant time.

I've now seen this fucking dialog in Slack FOUR TIMES THIS MORNING and it's not even noon yet. And there doesn't seem to be any way to turn it off from settings.

There are so many problems with this dialog that make me so angry this morning.

1) This "only options are Yes or Later" in tech is infuriating. Treat me better and offer me an option to say NO to shit I don't care about.

#Slack #UX

2) I don't understand why Slack is pushing so hard for me to not be on channels I don't read that often.

If I don't read them (because there hasn't been discussion), what bad is that causing? I am in them so that WHEN something is posted, I see it and can read it.

I would argue that's quite important in work context.

If I'm in more channels that I can handle or they are causing distraction without providing value, I'm more than capable of managing that myself.

@hamatti Yes, but you're not supposed to be _thinking_ and _making decisions_. That's Slack's job. You (and your company) are supposed to be _being engaged_ and _generating revenue_.
