Is this the right channel to reach the admins about Clojurians? I wanted to ask if anyone had considered turning off the Slack notifications when people join/leave a channel (https://slack.com/help/articles/115002695043-Manage-join-and-leave-messages-). I personally find them kind of noisy, and wondered if anyone felt the same way.
@kingmob Can you explain how they are "noisy" for you? I don't get any alerts for them in any channels and I see just a single line summarizing leave/join activity for a period of time if there are no other messages. They're actually very helpful for the admins to see someone who joins and then pretty much immediately posts a spammy-looking message since that's usually a very clear flag that they should be deactivated.
Here's an example from the #clojure channel as I see it... and I got no alerts or notifications for that, not even "new activity" in that channel.
@U04V70XH6 I'm glad they're helpful for admins. But they're never anything useful to me, and with thousands of members, I'm always scrolling past a join/leave message somewhere. It's not a big deal, I just figured it might be a nice quality-of-life improvement to hide them.
I love the join messages for similar reasons to @U0510902N's. I also dislike the leave messages a lot. They make me sad.
Join/leave automated posts are more noticeable in channels such as jobs. They seem a lot less noticeable in Clojure or beginner channel. I would rather see numbers of people joining than individual message. Sometimes a channel shows it has unread messages, but it can be almost all join message, that is a bit annoying, but again it's mostly the lower traffic channels I am using Clojurians Zulip more these days, so not particularly an issue for me.
