Discord adds the function of discussion thread under the channel

Discord, which continues to expand, recentlyAdded a very useful “Threads” function, Can divert the masses for the channel. Its main concept is that in a relatively busy channel, sometimes more than two discussions are in progress at the same time and interfere with each other; or occasionally there will be some slightly off-topic discussions. When this happens, you can temporarily separate out an independent “discussion string” for diversion. These discussion threads are like mini temporary small channels. If there is no new content within 24 hours, it will be automatically archived.

If you want to open a new discussion thread, you must have the corresponding permissions. Discord will also provide managers with new permissions to set. If you have the permission to use the discussion thread, you can find a new “#” key on any person’s speech to open a new discussion thread, or view all ongoing discussion threads in the # icon above. As long as you speak in the discussion thread, it will be regarded as “participating in the discussion”, and the discussion thread you participated in will be displayed in the total channel list on the left. If the Discord server is upgraded to Nitro’s second-level subscription, you can also start to limit the invited private discussion threads, and the auto-archiving time can be extended to as long as one week. However, considering the temporary nature of the discussion thread, it may be better to maintain it for 24 hours.

At present, the Threads function supports multiple platforms such as web pages, desktop apps, and mobile apps, and has been enabled on Discord servers, a relatively large community type, and is scheduled to be available on all servers from August 17th. However, the discussion thread is convenient and convenient, but for managers, separating the discussion thread will increase a lot of management burden. How to use it to achieve a better balance requires further study.
