I wish Slack had a feature to "threadify" comments that have already been made. I wouldn't even mind if Slack channels could designate certain users as "thread czars" that had the ability to move other users comments into a thread.

Never mind the thread czars — I wouldn't mind the ability to do this with my own comments. Often I reply to something in the channel, realize after the fact that it should have been in a thread, and then become sad when people start replying to it not in a thread.

This is a brilliant idea. I work in a slack jungle most of the workday in a very large org across possible 100+ channels. Multiple instances on top of that.

Sometimes replies bucket up under the thread, sometimes they do not. Sometimes what should be threaded get fragmented into separate threads.

Love this idea.

Some of the old school IRC-channel ops functions could go a long way too (I think discord is more like that).
