Ask HN: What are your org's Slack best practices?

  • * Do not use `@here` or similar if you can avoid it.

    * We have a couple of all-sites channels that a restricted on who can post (in practice or effect for the smaller ones) that are subdivided by function.

    * Use threads and switch to threaded conversations fast rather than in channel discussions.

    * Keep team "business" and "social" channels separate even if they are effectively the same groups of people.

    * If have a support channel, make sure to put what the resolution of the issue/conversation was in a summary comment at the end.

    * If you're remote, jump to video/voice conferencing before you get to a 200+ comment thread ...

    That's a few for starters.
