Update: I asked Slack what it made of all the worries about bullying and harassment made possible by Connect DMs. (I should have pushed harder on this sooner, too.)

@can I maintain the dot with no number that just says "there are new messages, you don't need to know about them but they're there" is the cruelest and smartest bit of product design ever — PolitiTweet.org

@can Funny enough I had the same thought – and it says something about how Slack sees its users and what they're doing all day! — PolitiTweet.org

@ewindisch It depends on the Slack setup — some plans allow account owners (I think that's what they're called) to see DMs, others don't. I think in principle it's basically the same as corporate email or phone — PolitiTweet.org

David Pierce @pierce

@richardiporter @daveadams @ewindisch @signalapp This is 100% true and good advice. But honestly I think most people don't care? Corporate email and phones are even easier for bosses to see, and people have rolled with that for decades. This one doesn't strike me as notably scarier than those? — PolitiTweet.org

David Pierce @pierce

@RangerRick To be fair this isn't totally true. You have to opt-in to every single DM, and you can disconnect anything you want — which makes it a lot harder for people to spam you or harass you, I think? — PolitiTweet.org

Starting today, anybody on Slack can DM anybody else on Slack. It's now a full-fledged messaging app for all things work — and it's gonna be fascinating to see how people use it https://t.co/VsRuFkB8tT — PolitiTweet.org

There are so many great reasons to invest in good journalism and storytelling, but unit economics aren’t one of them. Too many people are trying to commoditize that stuff and I wish they’d stop — PolitiTweet.org

There are so many good journalists doing so much good work at Medium, and it really sucks to see it reduced to “not every story paid for itself so we’re shutting it down” https://t.co/wfYBlVJlz6 — PolitiTweet.org
