> 4) Create private channels for any conversation / project or issue that will ever require more than the people that are currently in a 'multi-person private message'. Archive them when the issue is over. This, but I'd change it a bit: don't ever use multi-person private messages. You can't add people, and people can't leave if they figure the conversation isn't relevant to them. They should have a feature to convert a multi-person-pm into a room, including all the previously sent messages. RE threads: they seem broken to me. Hard to navigate, and when I'm typing, it will show that there are new messages but won't show new messages in the thread until I send my message or delete my draft. I'll add another one: pay for typing lessons for everyone that isn't reasonably fast. I get very annoyed with people that are slow at typing and take forever to write a response. It gets to the point that I start suggesting to get on a call because I know they can talk at a reasonable speed but typing out the information will take them minutes.

  Yes, and you can't do it from mobile.

You actually can add people; open up the member list (the stylized "bust" icon at the top left or the information icon to the right) and there's a button there: "Add people". I don't think you can leave though.

  Yeah, leaving is my main issue. When I get pulled into something and I decide it's not relevant to me, I can close the conversation, but it'll reopen as soon as anyone writes anything, so muting and having it pollute my conversation list is the only option. Can added people read previous messages, or are they only starting at the moment they enter?

  All that does with a private DM group of < 7 people is create a new DM group, and the conversation is not migrated. So you're effectively starting from scratch, and the new addition has no ability to go back and catch up. I can understand the reasoning for this, but its also an area where private channels are much better at.
