this. especially jailing threads into a tiny sidebar, with the bad "read status" handling going all over the place when that sidebar happens to be open.
Slack threads suck. Just keep everything in one big thread, break out disposable channels when you need them, and build proper archiving features for those. Linking to an existing channel is already there so that shouldn't be a problem.
- caymanjim 6y agoI think a simple solution to my primary gripe about threads would be to keep them all inline, and just indent them, ala HN comments, so people can ignore (or perhaps toggle on/off, with a setting to default that state) the threads. But I still believe Slack would be better without threads.
