@SlackHQ I need the team involved to understand that this decision makes Slack an anxiety-inducing, miserable slog to use and wonder what chain of events led to thinking this should be expected behavior.

A lack of a preference toggle for this is a huge oversight, please consider adding.

@SlackHQ Which setting in the new design in the notification preferences disables every new activity from showing up as a DM-level number increment on the workspace icon?

[Eric is not here anymore @ericwbailey]

@SlackHQ This is now also happening on the iOS app.

@SlackHQ I am not asking to disable activity view. I am asking why high priority notifications are showing up for things like emoji reactions, and why my existing preference settings no longer honor that.

@Slack Switching from a non-redesigned workspace to a redesigned workspace with new content won't scroll the viewport to the new, unread messages. It seems like the unread message is getting stuck and not updating.

@SlackHQ And how do I turn that off? A notification with a number should indicate a DM increment, and not every single tiny action every user has performed across every part of a workspace I am involved in.

@HireCorey https://t.co/gBYZn97vsI petitions don’t move the needle on private companies, please stop butting into these communications like this.

@SlackHQ Is pinning workspaces on the redesigned sidebar a feature y'all would consider? Everything being flatted to one dot to indicate activity in all my workspaces isn't really working for me.

@SlackHQ I know minding the comms for the whole internet during a dramatic redesign of a popular product isn't a fun job. Thank you for listening.

[Eric is not here anymore @ericwbailey]

@SlackHQ All the workspaces being flattened to one icon and one activity indicator. Hovering isn’t a good solution here.

[Eric is not here anymore @ericwbailey]

@SlackHQ My anxiety is now through the roof because I now have no quick way of scanning to know if it’s a friend DMing me or there is a work matter that needs immediate attention.

I don’t appreciate being opted into this without consent. Also happy to discuss my experiences if it helps.

[Eric is not here anymore @ericwbailey]

@SlackHQ I know redesigns are not easy, especially for something so public. Is there a way to opt-out until this is globally shipped? Only having it available for one workspace is really negatively impacting my ability to do my job well.

@alexleestine303 I work on GitHub's accessibility team and share a lot of your frustrations and concerns. I'd love to get you connected to the right folks over here, if I'm able. Is there an email you could share in a DM that I could pass along?

[Eric is not here anymore @ericwbailey]

@jina It is, based on Max Böck's work. Would love to help out once you're in a good place 🙂 https://t.co/W3DhE7L7cZ

@ItsCrisDiaz Not a problem if your site is in Spanish at all! As for adding yourself, the two required steps are 1) adding the code snippet, and then 2) create a PR updating `members.json`: https://t.co/La6ASq7fB2
