ugh, discord is basically IRC. There's a reason we don't use IRC for everything. I hate that it's replacing everything.

- idiotsecant 3y agothreading isn't particularly impactful if 90% of discussions don't use it.
- xg15 3y agoDiscord reuses the IRC "aesthetic" with "servers", channels and slash commands, but the actual structure of the conversations is much more like a forum.
- adastra22 3y agoIn what way? It’s still time based instead of topic based.
- xg15 3y agoI think it depends how the server is structured. You can also have "threads" which are topic-based inside a specific channel.
- squeaky-clean 3y agoYou can turn any top-level message in a room into a Thread. I don't ever really see that used though, and I don't believe it bumps the thread when there's a new message (then again neither does Reddit).
