I feel like this is the way of things with Slack: poorly implemented new features are introduced with no way to disable them, and a significant portion of their users end up needing to work around them. I'd love to have time to research replacements for my employer's use of Slack because they clearly care more about being "innovative" than meeting the needs of their existing userbase.

Other examples: * The UX around threads is still horrendous, and there's no way to turn it off. * There's no way to turn off "drafts", which still causes me to lose messages I'm working on.

What don't you like about threads? I think they're actually my favorite Slack feature. I find myself missing them in more casual chat apps like Discord.

Threads turn every slack channel into a multi-headed hydra. Now, in addition to keeping up with updates on slack channels, you're also having to keep up with updates to threads in slack channels. Worse than that, if you're looking for an old thread you have to remember the channel it's in and the first message that started it if you want a hope in hell of finding it, since the threaded responses don't (normally) show up in the channel itself.
