Discord teases threaded conversations

 

Feature launch comes day after today after a month of testing

Messaging consumer Discord is about to provide its customers a ball of yarn, teasing a threading characteristic that will formally debut tomorrow.


The announcement was once posted to the company's Twitter account noon today.

Threading went via trying out on a small team of servers over the previous month. An FAQ web page tells us what we customary customers may additionally anticipate in phrases of the characteristic consisting of how to begin and take part in one, privileged thread settings, and moderation. They can be archived after a targeted quantity of time or deleted entirely.

Currently, customers are solely in a position to reply to messages one at a time. Those who desire to tune the dialog ought to faucet or click on on every preceding message excerpted above. That's now not a wonderful way of sorting out context thru a shared line of thinking — inserting that in a well mannered way — and a server administrator wouldn't desire to have to create new rooms each time some thing of that nature popped up. So, yes, this does carry Discord into line with the likes of Slack... finally.

New elements (especially ones like this that have been lengthy needed) have a tendency to come first to PC earlier than going to mobile, so set your expectations accordingly.
