But it's so unreasonably slow. It lacks basic features like syntax highlighting on ``` blocks. It's basically become a super expensive and painful to use while Discord continues to be a joy. And the 'start a thread' nazis are just too much to bear. Prediction: they will add subthreads within 3 years.

> And the 'start a thread' nazis Social issues can't be solved by technical means. Just slightly incentivised in some direction (like discord's "this is the third reply, would you like a thread instead?") But for the resource usage, ripcord https://cancel.fm/ripcord/ https://cancel.fm/ripcord/ already proved you can have a capable client which is super light and fast if you care. This was made by a single person and in many ways is better than the official client.

Prediction 2: companies will hire full-time Slack Cops whose whole job is shaming coworkers and talking about threads (the #1 Slack anti-feature). Well, this was my prediction pre-easy-to-use LLMs, anyway.

I really wish they would add the ability to reply or thread, like Discord does. Along with syntax highlighting.

Use threads, bozo, stop polluting feeds.

  This isn't how you use online chat. Somehow people did fine with IRC for decades without threads. I'm sorry you can't manage your own information flow or configure your own client and have to embarrass yourself to make other people to organize it for you.

    What else should I do for you? There are hundreds unique snowflakes that think their message is what I should see - I don’t. Stop littering in a public space and behave like a grownup.

      Again, your ability to consume information you find useful is not my job to manage. Be a grownup and a professional, figure it out. Or constantly whine at people and be unbearable. Totally up to you.
