Banning private conversations gets you fewer conversations. It's intimidating to talk in front of a lot of people. Even moreso without the trust built up from a bunch of in person interactions.
It would help if there were an easier way to convert a short 1:1 chat into a public thread with a consent click on each side though.
If there were better communication tools than slack I think I'd enjoy WFH more but I find that the commonly used tools dehumanize the process - there's 0 adjustments (like this one) to accomodate psychological safety and the tools are built around transactionality.
