I keep saying "mute the discussion" and @mentions will signal you if needed, but it is lost on folks who haven't done this kind of things.
They're used to discussion spaces being set up per-incident, instead of just lingering/loitering in a room.

My manager heavily pushes us to use Threads for that purpose in Slack, but Slack's handling of Threads is just miserable. It's one my biggest peeves about Slack. If I get mentioned in a Thread, Slack will ping me for every new message (and I've been pinged on threads that went on for several hundred messages). If I need to find a message in a Thread, scrolling back is useless, I have to use search and just pray I have the right keywords.
I think I'm just burned out on Slack; they need to find a method of communicating and invest into it instead of their current "you communicate however you want and we'll halfway support it" method.
