> that doesn't interrupt people with a notification [...] The emoji-reaction this way is a kludge for a lower-priority asynchronous response

Isn't the entire premiss of Slack that it is asynchronous? That it does not interrupt the flow in the way a phonecall or tap-on-shoulder does?

What went wrong that now the senders of communication have to -again- tread carefully, be aware of the receivers status and work, employ kludges, so not to interrupt co-workers?
