Introducing Threads in Beta
I think threading in chat apps is a terrible idea. It’s a way to merge email and chat, but chat apps like Slack aren’t really suited for such replacement imho.Why threading if there’s not much noise? And if the noise is too much, maybe a public chat is not the best idea.on Slack, navigating a channel between “main” messages and thread messages is a nightmare, and since “main” messages are not just a subject, you spend a lot of time just reading the message.We need something to improve email experience (where you need forwards, setting up mailing lists is slow, can’t delete/edit, etc) without resorting to a chat app for everything. A better forum-like/nntp, not a better irc.
