Slack doesn't expect you to do anything. Your coworkers do.

People don't interrupt me on Slack, simply because Slack doesn't jump in front of my IDE. When I see a notification dot and have time, I'll look at it and reply

I don’t mind the pedantry; the issue I’m pointing out is that people will not wait for you to chime in but will make their decisions and move on. Because slack as a chat encourages that attitude.
