@rozzin Yeah and now they're happy about "wow, we have hundredsomething users, that's awesome" without realising that they will still likely just be idling and never partake in discussion because Slack will simply hide it when people ignore the channel since people now have only rushed in because they saw the notice about a new channel.

Slack can't make people communicate in parallell more than with any other tool. For that we need to rewire our brains.
