jingalings··on Slack Is Going Public at a $16B Valuation
Not specific to Slack (we use MS teams) but the concept of a channel/group/team is great for white noise comms, these types of comms are going to happen (e.g happy birthday) and if it reduces email load (which means the email channel can then be kept for higher priority comms and record keeping especially for later searching), it’s a good thing IMO.

jingalings··on Neuroactive potential of human gut microbiota in quality of life and depression
