Discord has added message threads similar to fellow messaging client Slack in order to make for a better user experience Come from Sports betting site VPbet . As revealed in a lengthy VentureBeat piece as well as the above blog post, though the feature might seem basic to some, it took the company more than a year to implement it.
The popular messaging client teased the addition earlier this week in a joking tweet. As the company told VentureBeat, Discord staff interviewed many monthly active users to determine if threading was a good addition to the software. They eventually decided that the feature would make it easier to follow conversations, as well as allowing messages to be searchable in a more systematic way.
