Additionally I really am fed up with people splitting everything in Slack into multiple lines so that I receive multiple notifications from what should have been a three to five liner.

Was it a nuisance when work from home started more and more people switched over to this pattern.

Nowadays I am just fed up with it.

But it might be because after 23 months we (the company I am working for) still haven't been able to learn how to replace most meetings with forms that don't take up that much synchronous time.

Most meetings I am in could be at least cut short when prepared up front by a document that enables commenting. Then one could discuss ideas and not need to generate them on the fly.

And then there are the few cases where the need is to brainstorm. These can be fun. And I like them. But they are for cases when the map/way/ideas are yet unknown.

When the path is more clear things imho should be more asynchronously organized.

On IRC this is called "scrolling" and depending on your relationship with the person you can ask them if someone is playing a joke by hooking their enter key up to their spacebar.

In general I think what's happening is a tell that a person doesn't act with fully-formed thoughts when they open their mouth.
