You're a long way from doing that in manner I described above, but
consider the following scenario:
You're a shy person that doesn't participate in our slack very often.
You gather up the courage and ask a question on the first channel that
pops up after you log in (which by slack's design is #general). I show
up and tell you that you should ask that somewhere else. Now, not only I
didn't help you to solve your problem, but additionally I made you feel
bad for asking a question in a "wrong place"...
I don't know any better solution. However, I don't feel bad about
current status quo. I personally don't think that #general is *that*
noisy. I think these days everybody is subscribed to so many slacks that
they mute each of them by default. I have no data to back my claims
though :)
Cheers,
Kacper
