@spritely@social.coop @cwebber@social.coop @richlv@mastodon.social I know it's a personal preference, but I like the threaded replies model in Slack & Discord better than the "topic" approach in Zulip. Topic to me seems redundant with Channel - sort of like a long-lived email subject line, whereas threaded replies are much more focused and help me visually associate conversations.

@wcbdata@vis.social @spritely@social.coop @cwebber@social.coop Hmm, I could see them being somewhat redundant in a small community, but anything past that would surely benefit from nested structure. Regarding the threaded mode, I have used Slack very little, and Discord maybe once, so no good experience - but I'll just imagine it's like mailing list archives :) I can see benefits and drawbacks in both modes. In a way, quoting in Zulip might replace full threading, and allow the topics to remain more focused.
