Every large org I've ever been at has had someone reply-all to a company-wide mailing list and then promptly spawn a flood of more company-wide reply-alls. Slack's @channel/@here has made this even worse. On a good day, people have a laugh, tell them not to do it again, and we all move on. The only difference here is that it's in public on github.

I suspect there's some psychological phenomenon that convinces people that norms expected of them have somehow been broken because of the chaos.
