I still find it utterly mind-boggling that Slack still lacks the ability to batch or "debounce" notifications.

I don't need (nor want) to react instantaneously to anything and everything that occurs in a channel, thread, or direct-message chat... and especially not for that one senior co-worker who submits each discrete sentence in their indefinitely long stream of consciousness.

"Mute" is not an answer, because I do need to be notified of activity... But I'd rather get a single minute-delayed "boop" about multiple events than a stream of instant and sporadic mad chittering.



I have literally thrown my apple watch on the floor due to slack notifications buzzing my wrist incessantly. It’s a trigger for me at this point.


Or at least give us the discord feature of "Mute channel for ..." with some fixed set of durations.
