   I've been using Slack for years and I still don't know what "<person> has paused their notifications" means. I understand the words, but not why I'm being told about someone else's notification preferences or what I'm supposed to do with the information.

     @jscholes Slack is annoying. Only today did I learn what a huddle is. And here I thought it was between a hug and a cuddle.

     @jscholes I think useful to know they will not be answering quickly

     @GreenSkyOverMe Probably. I suppose I'm struggling with it because I already don't usually expect a response within a certain timeframe; that's why I'm using text comms in the first place. There's also a "Notify anyway" button which makes no sense to me; will that violate their notification preferences and force them to be pinged anyway? That seems deeply problematic if so.
