Slack Shaming

The digital walk of shame that occurs when a well-intentioned Slack message lands in the wrong channel, triggering a swarm of passive-aggressive emojis, thread derailments, and a 10-minute debate about “channel etiquette.” Often followed by a link to the workspace guidelines you definitely didn’t read. (see Post Traumatic Slack Disorder)

Circle of Slack

When many users mute a channel on Slack to avoid useless notifications, but the authors have noticed. So they post on others channels to make sure those users received the notifications. In the long run, those others channels will also endup being muted, since they now throw useless notifications.

Each iteration of this circle increase the number of channels the authors need to post to and the number of muted channels by the users.
- "People only post memes in #news"
- "I know, I muted that channel."
- "Me too, but they realized it! Now they post in #news, #global and #admin to be sure we see them."
- "Oh no, I'll mute those too."
