These look like a weird mix of Slack threads (temporary (though not enforced in Slack), written in sidebar) and Zulip threads/topics (named, available in the channel list), though... with downsides compared to both (for example, you can't forward messages to original channel like you could on Slack). Feels a bit awkward, but time will tell. My main concern right now is with discoverability and moderation - it seems a bit difficult for moderators to see recent activity across all threads, unless I missed something. Other than that, I'm cautiously neutral.

Given they show up in the channel list as "sub-channels", discoverability and moderation should be straight forward and this blog post devotes an entire section to Moderation tools, so I'm cautiously optimistic on that part at least. (Especially in comparisons to Slack's Thread moderation which was rough in what little I tried to do of it.)

  The catch is that they only show up in the channel list if you've "joined" the thread. They're otherwise just hidden behind the button up top (or you need to hit the backscroll).

    Yeah, that seems sub-optimal from how I read it, but I guess I missed that part.

As a Discord moderator (discord.gg/wilbur, 310k+) who's used Threads for a few months now while testing, there's a specific Threads button that lists all open threads - even private ones, although behind a toggle - and that works pretty okay. Most large servers only use Threads internally within staff teams, not in the wider general channels yet, though!

  > there's a specific Threads button that lists all open threads I can see there's a Threads button next to the search bar, but it appears to be scoped to the channel I'm in; I don't see a way to see threads across all channels.
