Threads are idiotic on slack, agreed. I just ignore them and manually snip the line i'm replying to, prefix it with > and write my reply below.

What do you do on Telegram when you want to post 2 pages of logs? Slack has this "text snippet" feature that can take a long text and post it collapsed by default, and whoever wants to see the details can expand it inline or save.

Can you pin a message to a Telegram channel, to have reference info handy?

Can you upload large files to Telegram and have them available 2 years later? (On the paid version of Slack).

Do you have a Telegram git or github integration plugin that will automatically notify about the commits in the project's channel?

They don't do the same things and your use case is not Slack's.

You're saying Telegram clients are native apps? I strongly doubt it :)
