Now if only people would stop using `@here` for every little thing, it'd be easier to separate "blue" notifications from "red" and Slack would actually be the perfect model of async communication. I could prioritize whether to pull myself from my current task to look or not.

Doesn't work when people just write "@here, making nachoes" all day.

`@here` should really be yellow. Only direct communications red. Or something other than the current system.

BTW, slack let's you supress @here and @channel notifications - I do it for almost every channel I'm in ;)
Discord has a bunch of extra filtering built-in for their equivalent.
