> With Slack, there was no breathing room to take a step back, think about what was being discussed, and follow up on it later. Async communication does tend to be more thoughtful and considered. I think this has to be more than just about threaded conversations though. A thread isn't a great organizing tool for good ideas, just a structure for a linear conversation. Async communication can really shine when the most important/engaged with content is the most visible. Reducing the signal to noise ratio is key. I think Aether.app does a good job of this by implementing a familiar forum like voting system[0]. It gives precedence to the important ideas by making it easy to spot the ideas that are getting the most attention/support.
