Reminders create another thing for me to be notified about later though. For me, I want to file things in different folders that I can go to when I have time, not have an alarm clock that I have to constantly snooze until it happens to go off at a convenient time.

I want a pull model, basically, and Slack is nearly all push.

I also want a pull model and I hate how most of the marketing for such communications tool uses the word collaboration

Erm no it’s not necessarily collaboration

Figma can count even though I am not a designer

And in most work places they heavily rely on what I call ad hoc communications for coordination purposes

If it’s coordination for one off tasks, again fine

But if it’s repetitive task with stable data models, then it should be structured and automated as much as possible to free up thinking bandwidth

The culture/leadership matters

Leadership needs to have an opinion abt what tools and how to use them
