Fun fact:
They granted create threads to everybody by default but granted manage threads to nobody by default.
So we had moderators who could delete channels, delete create and modify roles and role permissions, and delete messages as well as ban/kick users, but couldn't manage or delete threads.
"public threads" show up in the main channel list to everybody as a sub channel, and everybody had permission to create and name them what ever they wanted, but nobody could delete them until i logged in and gave it to my mods.
Realllllllllly well done roll out discord.
- i_am_proteus 5y agoThis happened to me, moderating a server, while our only admin was on vacation. I was able to remove "create thread" permissions from the default role, effectively turning threads off. But first I had to add a new role to grant myself those permissions. I also had to ask people who had created threads to please delete them because I still can't.
- judge2020 5y ago> But first I had to add a new role to grant myself those permissions Assuming you're an Administrator, it's covered by that.
- MrStonedOne 5y agoThey aren't. Its a common system to only have the server owner and maybe 1 or 2 other people with the administrator permission. I personally run a 5k user discord with only me as the admin, and like 90 mods who can do varying levels of things. Why discord didn't make it default to on for people with manage_messages i don't understand.
- i_am_proteus 5y agoI cynically think that they wanted to make it a bit hard to disable threads so people would experiment with the feature on rollout. Otherwise they would have enabled the feature and defaulted it to off. I found out that we had threads enabled when someone created a thread.
- shawabawa3 5y agoMore likely all the developers who tested the rollout were admins on the servers they were testing on so nobody foresaw this problem

- ad404b8a372f2b9 5y agoWhen did the feature appear for you? It hasn't appeared yet in my channel.
- MrStonedOne 5y agoit was randomly handed out to 10% of servers today.
- nabakin 5y agoIt's in the process of being rolled out. I own like 5 servers, 2 of them normal, non-community ones and none of them have gotten the feature yet while I'm in at least 4 servers which have already gotten the feature
- nightpool 5y agoThis is obviously bad and I agree that they should have put a better default in place, but this bit isn't true: ""public threads" show up in the main channel list to everybody as a sub channel". In fact, you have to join a thread for it to show up in your channel list, so there's an opt-in interaction required. (or somebody could @mention you or manually add you to the thread, leaving a system message indicating they did so)
