I don't get it. How does a chat without a threaded conversation model able to manage a large number of people effectively? Have you ever taken a look at chat that is fully threaded? As far as I know, Discourse was built by keeping gamers in mind who care mostly about what is happening right now which is not the perfect fit for an open source project.
- acemarke 9y agoSometimes if there's a bunch of people chatting at once the conversation can get a little crossed-up, sure, but most of the time there's only one or two specific discussions going on in any given channel. It helps that we have a _lot_ of different channels for different topics: #general, #need-help, #redux, #webpack, #functional-programming, #testing, etc.
