This I like: “Threads are conversations that take place under an original message, held in their own space away from the main chat.”

This I don’t like: “If a thread is inactive for 24 hours, it’s archived to prevent a lot of mess in main channels.”

“Threads rolled out on Discord on Tuesday across all platforms.”

We use Discourse, not Discord. Did you confuse the two?

Discord introduces threads and Discourse introduces chat?! Things have come full circle! What’s next, the two platforms merge to form _ **Discourd** _ ? 🤣
