when I, and others, did moderation of a community primarily communicating with Slack, using the channels to cause drama was an easy way to get yourself talked about in the moderator chat. Eventually, some of us moved to Telegram, which had the nice feature of letting you know when someone had taken screenshots of 'private' messages. There's ways around that if you don't want the recipient to know you are recording them, of course, but I think the lesson from all that was if you don't want to get yourself in trouble for stirring the pot, then take your conversations offline, with people, in person.
