Speaking from experience giving the loudest users real time access to your sanity isn't great either. Better to corral them into a slower mode of communication, such as an old fashion forum or use githubs "discussions" feature. Then you can spend your weekend on unwinding without a bunch of kids screeching that they've been ignored because you missed some message that was checks notes 200 paragraphs of back scrolling.

p.s. its 1000x worse when you inherit this kind of "community" from someone before you who let the monkeys do whatever. All I can say is thank god discord has that slow-mode feature now.
