  Same - and it's just... weird. The "everything must be in a thread" model feels really clunky.

    That's a good point, however threads do tend to help with keeping things organized when in a channel. It actually might be a good thing that everyone doesn't feel the need to look at slack every X minutes.

    Subjective... I've found Slack and co's interspersed conversations far too chaotic, and temporal; threading is a great way of organising many different concurrent topics. And to be clear I don't mean Slack's implementation of threads which is hiding it away in a separate panel and which doesn't get used by everyone either.

      I find Zulip to be a nice balance. Threads are much more prominent than they are in Slack, but aren't clunky.

  If you're using gsuite already, it's a usable failover. I send all my alert notifications there, as a fallback already. Dragging people in was trivial. It's better than the group SMS that one person tried to use.
