I haven't used Slack since 2016 so I don't know if it's changed, but the threads were such a disappointment when they came out. I suppose everyone was hoping for some similar threading that Flowdock has, but Slack threads simply just hide the discussion.
I agree that Slack beats HipChat and IRC for work communication, but that's about it. I prefer even the new Google Chat over it, and that definitely has warts of it's own.
- dep_b 7y agoYeah threads still suck. They claim they've investigated it and it was the best solution but I totally get lost with twenty threads over five Slacks with ten channels each.
- crummy 7y agoIMO the small changes they've made have really helped. I like how they keep off topic conversations from overflowing into the channel, and the little notification about unread threads helps me not forget them. Plus you can go back to conversations you missed and add to them.
- stestagg 7y agoI get the impression that threads (like browser tabs) are a very individual thing. Some people want total threading, others want a flat flow. Slack seem to be treading a very careful line between the two extremes
