Do not disturb - anti UI pattern – Slack Review

Why my messages are not delivered? Probably slack mutes them, I googled a little bit and decided to fix it. It is a good question, why they try to control something, which is easily and much better controlled on system, OS, level. Another question, why they do it by default, making me think that something doesn’t work? I go to “Do Not Disturb”, expecting to see schedule there, but nothing. I see there, “don’t disturb me” next 30 minutes, …, next week, Custom. Where is the current state, like in all other messengers? What about schedule? I googled a little bit more, chat with friends, and finally we found that schedule is one level deeper, in Settings, in nice menu with the same name “Do Not Disturb”. I feel myself a winner, or looser?! Hold on, does it work per device or on account level? …. Life is not easy... If I’m on schedule, can I get messages automatically, after I’m back online? Please remove the option completely if you can’t make user understand how it works or at list disable it by default. OS handles it already for you. Don’t try to make a square wheel, it won’t run faster. One star, for waisted hours.
