> threaded messaging app

I hated threads in slack when they were introduced. However, as with a lot of things (new site designs etc) it helps to give them time to settle in before you decide if you really like them or not and I'm happy to report that now after several years have passed since they were introduced I still absolutely hate slack threads.

They are one of the worst parts of slack. They are where information goes to die, they are easily missed, they are cumbersome to deal with. I would disable them if I could.

Perhaps they work well with huge teams, but I've worked in companies with tens and hundreds of engineers and they have been an unecessary hindrance.
