The fact that Zulip is threaded (and this threading is enforced) is what makes it so valuable, at least to me.
Your proposals would get rid of its main feature and go completely against one of its core ideas.
- eis 5y agoI kinda agree. Actually what I wanted to say is I see where you are coming from but I disagree that my proposal would get rid of its main feature. I just want some way to have easy defaults for new users. I wouldn't propose to remove any features. You should still be able to do whatever is possible right now and for the advanced users nothing would change. I suggested an additional easy mode to help new users. This could be set as default by the organization admin or just make it opt-in. Nobody should be forced of course. I am confident that it would be still possible to push users into using threads/topics but without the considerable friction that currently exists. The fact that Zulip has to include these little tutorial bubbles for new users to show them how to write a message and other chat apps don't need it shows that Zulip is more complicated to understand and use as a newbie.
- cloogshicer 5y agoRight, I can see that, thanks for clarifying.
