"Reply to the message itself" is what Zulip does best, and where Slack is lacking. I have to zoom in to a thread to see what's going on with it, I can't just follow the main room and see the tag for a sub-thread interleaved. It's a filtered event stream, where you have 2 tags, "chat room" and "topic". You can see the full firehose with both tags, or zoom in to a room and see topic tags, or filter to just the topic if needed. Slack won't give you the first option, and does the second poorly since you can't see the topic responses inline.
