My main two feature requests would be:

- Add a way to mute notifications from an individual user

- Add a way to organize threads by topic

For the first one, I believe they've said they will never implement it. For the second one, I'm holding out that someone will realize how crappy the threading implementation is, but I don't have much hope.

Oh man, completely muting a user would be amazing.
Unfortunately I believe they've said "since this is a product for professional workplaces we don't see a need for this feature".
Professional workspaces always contain chatty people…
And how exactly do you explain that you didn’t get the important ping of something being broken because you muted the person? Seems like a lot more problems than just telling the person to be less chatty in important channels.
Important alerts should be automated from some software, not from the coworker that thinks every shower-thought is good #random material.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the whole stack is perfectly tested and alerts are there for every small detail. Unfortunately in the real world that’s not always the case.
