I hope you didn't have to bin them, as Vogue did with one of their photoshoots costing a bank:)
Sounds interesting: reference?

Apart from being stuck to a single level in depth (which IMHO kind of makes sense in the context of an IM platform), what's that bad about Slack's threads?
Well, literally, you need to move aside - they took the skeuomorphism of people getting aside to discuss a topic without bothering others too far.
Not sure what would you have preferred? I can only think of inline, but I'm not sure how well that would have worked in an IM application, where you'd typically expect things to be in chronological order. You basically described the point of having threads in the first place, and I also cannot think of many other existing implementations, so I'm curious.

Really? I don't like that Twitter makes me to reword and abbreviate words, just because I'm 2 characters over! Any medium (pun intended) has the concept of paragraphs, but does not typically limit you how long the paragraph is. It could guide you not to go overboard, but to force you to a certain made-up character limit - it's not really acceptable in 2021.
You need to realize that the character limit was the defining feature of Twitter. There are many platforms where grumpy uncle could dump a wall of text with his views, but nobody was attracted to another one of those. In today's attention economy, limiting expressions of thought was exactly the right thing.
Maybe you do, but I never want to dump anything! I want to write a paragraph. I can't in many cases, and I need to break English or ruin the wording. So, it's okay for the texting culture, I guess, but not for people who care about what they say and how they say it. I know many people bombard you on IM or Slack with tens of messages instead of writing a single paragraph. You think that's okay? It's a pity if you think so! No wonder people today are suffering from all kinds of attention disorders!
