Discord Launches Threads

Is there really no better design for "aside" conversations than this? People lean on Slack threads too much, leading to a confused flow of conversation that makes it extremely difficult to piece together how the discussion was ended or resolved.

This looks similar to the Zulip implementation which I sorely wish Mattermost had (since we use that at work)

Unfortunately looks more like the Slack implementation to me.

Still not available on our Discord server. I wish they took a page from Flowdock's threads but this looks more like Slack threads.

I'm not sure I like the implementation, with threads having a "title" and the forced archiving. They feel more complex than they should.
