Discord has a feature (recently added?) in which you can reply to something -- it gets miniquoted above your reply. It does a good job of 'flattening out the tree'.
Element appears to have the same thing right now

Thanks for the heads-up! Working on a fix so you can't query a private room and send in Matrix events. We already block from Gitter -> Matrix side.
Update: Fix deployed -> https://gitlab.com/gitterHQ/webapp/-/blob/develop/CHANGELOG....
One other thing: my message was still posted by @matrixbot, rather than by my Matrix user. Is this another case of every client having to migrate (I'm using Fractal)?

Matrix now has two flavours of threading defined and implemented as we experiment with the different approaches: label-based threading in MSC2326[1] (i.e. "filter this room to only show msgs tagged #foo"), and full-blown free-form HN/Reddit/NNTP/SMTP/Twitter style threading in MSC2836[2]. The former is closer to Zulip, and is implemented in Synapse. The latter is closer to HN, and is implemented in Dendrite[3][4]. Cl…
So...could I write a gateway that provides functionality for threads to be pulled in from HN/Reddit/NNTP/SMTP/Twitter (MSC2836)? Think Epiverse [1] within Matrix and its clients. [1] https://epiverse.co/
This is very exciting. On the element client edits from gitter via the gitter bridge currently do not display very well. The bridge creates a new pseudo post when edits are made. Will these edits automatically be cleaned up in the history of a room in the future?

Yup. Can't wait for someone to implement a Matrix-powered Disqus clone!

Wow, it would be really, really interesting for a blog to offer a Matrix room as a "comment section". If you didn't care about threading, you could probably do something like that even today.
https://matrix.org/blog/2020/09/15/gsoc-report-html-embeddab... was a GSOC project this year which heads in that direction. Meanwhile Hydrogen has been built to be embeddable ( https://github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web ). And Gitter of course has http://sidecar.gitter.im/ . But nobody has fully packaged one up as FOSS Disqus/Intercom/etc alt yet. It's a huge and easily-fillable gap in the Matrix ecosystem :)
So thinking out loud, for a disqus clone - sticking to unencrypted rooms and web components could be the way to go! Thanks for the GSOC and Hydrogen links - will check them out!

Does the IRC bridge work reliably for you? I tried experimenting with Matrix today, I could make it to join #freenode_#xmonad:matrix.org but any message I sent didn't go through to the IRC side. When I then joined #irc:matrix.org it seems several other people were reporting this not working lately. To make this experience even less amusing, I then tried to join #xmonad:matrix.org, assuming it's the matrix equivalent…
The IRC bridge has worked reliably for me so far. My messages from Matrix get delivered to Freenode IRC channel without any problems, so far. The settings of #xmonad:matrix.org show that they allow only invited users to access their room. Here is a screenshot of their room settings: https://i.imgur.com/vxap6wY.png . This is a little weird indeed. However, there are other plenty of other rooms that do not require invi…
Also, #xmonad:matrix.org being invite only seems to be another bug. I contacted the room admin who sent me a similar screenshot as you did, showing that the room is _not_ set to invite-only, and they had to upgrade the room version from 1 to 6 to fix it. I can now join the room.
I have to say this has been a very frustrating experience. In addition to these two problems with #xmonad, I also suffer from https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix/issues/248, https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack/issues/812. I am afraid the takeaway is that Matrix is not ready yet. :-/

XMPP is anything but dead yet. There were a lot of XEPs added and updated in recent years and it turned into a modern protocol being able to provide all features you could expect from a modern messaging service. It's just that you need a client and server that supports those features. Daniel Gultsch has written an Android client[1], that's as good as it can be. He also offers a maintained XMPP server [2] providing th…
I spent a long time trying to get the following to all work: 1. Store and forward 2. e2e encryption 3. Messages received on multiple clients at the same time, with clients being able to reconnect and pick up the complete conversation history. In theory, all possible. In reality, none of the clients I tried supported the same combo of XMPP plugins and encryption methods. Oh, and I need clients that work on MacOS, Wind…
To have OMEMO working between multiple clients but the same user, make sure they’re all running and send a message from each client to your OMEMO contacts so they learn all your different keys and send answers encrypted for all of them.
In regards to Matrix. There’s only one reference client at the moment. But once other clients emerge and the protocol gets extended, they’ll probably have the same fate in that many 3rd party clients won’t support all features.

I’m using ejabberd 20.07 on a Raspberry Pi 4, Conversations (paid) on Android, Monal on iOS and macOS and Gajim on Windows and Linux (sometimes macOS, too). OMEMO works fine between those. So do attachments/file transfers (not slow at all). Also MAM/history.

There's https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge , supports Reddit/Matrix and many more plus API for extensions.
