what's the point of it being a channel if everything should be in a thread? just make every thread a channel, and "channel" should be a folder

- lbotos 1y ago#customer-incident-channel Lbotos: okay @jane you are leading expert on problem y. Use this thread for your debugging until next sync Lbotos: @phil your up for rebooting all the hosts. Ack this message and thread your work here. Please get started ASAP. Lbotos: others, is there anything else that we need to get unblocked? —- By having one channel you can leave that open and can be up to speed on the overarching state easily. Otherwise, if I'm making subchannels I gotta make sure to invite everyone to the sub channel or switch to the “meta coordination channel” to get unplanned collaboration. Threads have value.
- catlifeonmars 1y agoIt occurs to me that channels are just topics and it’s somewhat limiting to have a thread only belong to a single channel.
- rectang 1y agoOn the surface that sounds reasonable, but when you consider that subscribers and settings (notifications, security, privacy, search, archival…) have to be managed per channel rather than per “folder”, it quickly becomes unmanageable. And if it’s as it sounds and you are one of the people who always has full conversations in the root of a channel where other people use threads, please reconsider.
- jve 1y agoThreads are short lived with 2-100 messages. Like a topic or an email conversation. In email analogy - you want dedicated mailbox for every conversation? Nonsense.
- NooneAtAll3 1y agoin forum analogy - I want you to make a subforum (category) instead of complaining "why people talk in topic that in no way indicates it's for creating topics"
