This is the problem with everything being 'chat'.

It's not designed for having single-concern conversation or managing priority or intent. It's there for call-reply.

We switched to cushion.so which is async. We use posts, pretty much like a post here, for most conversations. It uses a message board-like approach where it makes sense. You don't need to be pinged constantly for everything. Especially when theres 10 people all discussing the same thing that might not be a priority for you right now.

Then you can just use chat for direct high shit-is-on-fire messaging.

Problem is Slack is designed to get to you to constantly chat, chat, chat. So that's what you end up doing.
