Discord is after Slack's market share and offering threads makes sense in many contexts where the discussion isn't casual.
- enraged_camel 5y agoMan, I wish Slack would implement Discords "reply" feature that automatically quotes the post and @mentions the poster.
- DoctorShenan 5y agoI think it has it, it's just called something else.
- leppr 5y agoYes, the "share message" feature accomplishes roughly the same in a less seamless way.
- rockostrich 5y agoIt's less "seamless", but also more flexible. The Discord reply feature only works within the same channel while you can share slack messages anywhere, including in threads by linking. Linking to discord messages works, but there's no inline preview.
- Dylan16807 5y agoMan, I wish Discord would let you set it to not @mention by default.
- lamontcg 5y agoCounterpoint: I wish that feature would go away on Discord, it gets used a lot by very low information users to pester other people all the time. And its just annoying to see all the duplicated text. If you have several people in a discussion or there's two threads of conversation going on I sort of get the idea that you want to respond to a specific comment -- but there are ways to use the English language to indicate clearly what you're responding to. Even if its just "re: whatever, ..."
- movedx 5y agoI'm not certain why you're being downvoted, but you're right. Their recent rebranding demonstrates this.
- fomine3 5y agoWill Discord changes their single account system/policy? It's very annoying to use single account for various use other than only gaming community. I think this policy is a bigger blocker than lack of threads.
- mattste 5y agoAgreed. My gaming persona is different than IRL persona. I personally love the way Slack handles accounts.
