It's why I don't use IM and just block myself off on those platforms. If it's not meaningful enough to write in an email then it's not meaningful enough for me to read.

Huh, we have really different experiences. I often describe things the other way. My email is full of automated messages, things that get blasted out to the entire organization, status updates that got sent to an entire mailing list and I don't need to read. I assume at this point that if it's an email, it's probably not important. That is to say P(important | email) < my threshold

I mean, I glace at them at some point, but I don't put much thought into them.

At least I know slack/teams messages are meant for me. If it's important, don't send me an email about it, ping me on one of those.

I have my emails well filtered. For me, It's Slack/Teams that's full of useless groups of inane chatter and DMs that pop up and annoy me.
