Avoid communication blasts
A single line message that you send to 200 people isn’t a single line message anymore. It’s a 200-line message. Instead, “shrink the blast radius”.
Target your conversations
Limit chat conversations only to those necessary to the discussion.
React, don’t respond
In the spirit of limiting messages, use emoji reactions where possible, instead of responding to a message.
Limit the number of messages
It’s ok to write longer chat messages! Save everyone the extra notifications.
