I was hoping people would use it to explain what they wanted to talk about, since with Slack and SMS people just go "hey" and don't explain what they want, and speaking is easier than typing. But I guess I forgot that people on voicemail just say "hey it's X, call me back when you get this".

It would be nice if Slack had an away message that was sent back to the user when they message you, rather than a status that nobody ever reads.

So you reply to that with a link to https://no-hello.com/ every time, and they eventually catch on.
