This sounds somewhat similar to the concept of channels in Teams, wherein channels are subjects, and you create new topics and the discussion is canalized on those channels. You can also have email recaps of the conversations in your channels.
On paper it's a good idea, in practice I found it cumbersome. It requires for people to think a little about how to structure their conversation, and thinking is hard, too hard when you can just send a disorganized group chat.
- lowercased 3y agoCan't recall if any current tools have this, but being able to take a set of existing comments and make a new room/thread from those would help enable people who want to provide thread hygiene after the fact. Being able to do that would allow people to not be as concerned about when/where/how they start a 'thread', because... you don't always know in the moment where something will go.

On discord, if you use the reply feature enough times, (iirc 3-4 times) it'll prompt you to make a thread and have those messages included iirc. 0: https://zulip.com/help/move-content-to-another-topic https://zulip.com/help/move-content-to-another-topic
- lowercased 3y agoThanks. Didn't see that in zulip, but haven't used it 'for real' beyond a few demos a couple years back. I don't remember getting prompted in discord like that; is that a setting someone needs to enable?
