Who said I was talking about open communities? I don't care if someone moves a Trello ticket, e.g. on some projects, but I do want to still be able to talk about the project in the channel.


That's a communication problem, or an organizational problem. We use Slack at my company and we have a policy--developed by communication with one another--that "notification" type things of that sort go into their own channel specifically for the purpose so that anybody who is interested enough can be invited or join (if it's public).


Then you can use the "mute" feature


Mute the whole channel because slack won't just let me mute a user? That's ridiculous UX.


"Bad UX" gets thrown around like "bad customer service" in retail: usually, it really means "fix my problem before I've even tried to solve it myself" and then throwing a tantrum when that doesn't happen.


I understand your frustration. Messages should come with a priority level so you can decide to filter out automated messages or gif bots, while still seeing important messages from your team.
