jamauro··on Creating a Slack Writing Etiquette Guide for Your Workplace
some good tips here but ultimately the tool encourages the undesirable behavior and guidelines likely won't overcome that (even if humans actually read them).

if you feel similarly, would love to get your feedback on a tool that's built to combat slack's issues https://usepingpong.com

jamauro··on Show HN: Pingpong – The Antidote to Slack
We're thinking of how we'll address the import from Slack. Out of curiosity, why is that a must from your perspective?

Hey Ben, we've been doing a quick walkthrough the app with people over Google Hangouts because we haven't built onboarding inside the app. :) I can get you set up today if you're interested.
jamauro··on Show HN: Pingpong – The Antidote to Slack
Founder of pingpong here. We built pingpong to prioritize long periods of uninterrupted work so that your team can be more productive. It's made for async communication and can be realtime when needed.

For our team, we found that slack was stealing our time and attention, making it difficult to do our best work with the barrage of notifications for things that aren't urgent, inter-mixed conversations, fear of missing out on a conversation because you're heads down, and the green, "presence" dot (aka hey everyone, I'm available to be interrupted).

So we made pingpong to be the antidote to its endlessly-distracting, anxiety-inducing nature. If your team feels similarly, give pingpong a spin. We'd love to get some feedback and I'm happy to answer any questions.
