Users find Slack thread replies difficult to navigate, with the interface failing to make the reply flow intuitive when multiple people are involved in a threaded conversation.

Slack DM Discovery Is Unintuitive and Notification Controls Are Too Coarse

Finding the button to start a new direct message in Slack is not immediately obvious, and users want a quick-search shortcut to jump directly to a person rather than navigating menus. Separately, the notification system lacks granular controls — users receive too many notifications without the ability to fine-tune per-channel or per-person thresholds. These two gaps compound into daily attention management friction.
