Relevant bits:

> New metrics for customers on the Standard, Plus, and Enterprise Grid plans provide more detailed insights into how people in your workspace use Slack. View the analytics dashboard to see information about when members were last active, which device they typically use to access Slack, and how many messages they’ve posted. If they’d like, Workspace Owners and Org Owners can choose to disable these metrics for workspaces they manage.

Whoa, that’s creepy. I did not expect everyone in a team to he able to see such detailed statistics about my individual behavior in the app. Why on earth should someone else be able to see the exact number of reactions I’ve posted? Is there a way for individual members opt out of this?

Bit of an editorialized title from "Slack updates and changes"
