I don't use Slack, but when I tried it (that was in June 2015), this was the about first thing that @slackbot had suggested to me. In 2 days after signing up I got this message:
Psst… Aleksey! Right now you’re getting notified every time something is posted to Slack. That's great at first, but now that activity is increasing you'll probably prefer dialing that down. We recommend notifications just for mentions and DMs (i.e., only when someone wants your attention).
[Switch to our recommended settings]
So, they're doing this already.
("The activity is increasing" part was a lie, though - they don't measure the activity or notification frequency at all, as I was the only user somewhat alive.)
