I've been working since may for a company that allows remote working, and I chose to take advantage of it. It's been now 2 months since I'm working remotely, and most of the time, the communications are done with Slack. I agree with you when it comes to the fact that sometimes, you can't understand sarcasm or jokes, and take it personally, but I think you shouldn't be offended by your team, in any case. Take a step back, and learn to forget.
I think the secret about good written communication, is not to mix all the topics. In our company, we have a Slack channel for each project, and a lot of channels non-work related, like #music, #fun and of course #random.
We never had any real problem with written communication, and personally, I mostly prefer it to voice communication because you have a trace of what was said, and if you forget it, you still can read it back, even a few months later.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
