:thread-please:

Wait wasn't the consensus that threads are annoying?

That’s Jake’s personal opinion 🙂

Slack threads are the worst version of threads

they would be useful if you were forced to use them. But in slack it just creates confusion because conversations are split between threads and the regular chat

Yes. Once you use something with proper threading you realize how insanely poor and lazy Slack's version is

What’s “something”?

Anything that forces it. Hangouts Chat, probably the most needless chat app in the history of chat apps, does this really nicely. Also, you know, forum software and email have solved this forever.

Hangouts is amazing, what's needless about it?

email threading? That's taking it a bit far...

Hangouts Chat

ah.. nvm

normal Hangouts is hot garbage though, but we should take that into a thread. oh except we're already in a thread and we can't fork them

hot garbage? what do you mean?

I mean I use it for 1-1 chats with friends, it works for that just fine.
