   @FantasticalEconomics @504DR @mwt @jackofalltrades @lienrag @phil_stevens @GeofCox @gerrymcgovern i checked and there are 143 (out of 3.6k) open issues on the mastodon repo that include the word "thread" :-) So awareness of the issue is probably covered, whether something can/will be done soon is another matter. Others having solved it should help.

   But there is a deeper question how to support ad-hoc, long-winding multi-user discussions. In real life you might have a person act as coordinator.

     @504DR @phiofx

     Definitely true. I often try clicking on the last messages in threads (which there can be many of) and then read back to to it to see what they are responding to.

     But it doesn't solve the problem of figuring out exactly where to respond in the conversation if different threads covered different aspects of the conversation.

     I can definitely see people being turned off from it for sure.
