@sendpaws @ar @49016 @sophie @adiz its not discord its just the way rooms work. a room can't carry simultaneous discussions.

slack and discord tried to solve this with "threads" but those are kind of stupidly done

zulip does it by putting a subject tag on every message. messages belong to a room but they have a subject. if you click reply like a thread you inherit the subject. you can change the subject with new messages or with an edit.

so conversations can topic drift organically and you can see that its there in the stream, but you can also opt out of that subject, so something dipping between uspol and parameter optimization just sort of slides around as-needed.

i've never had the privilege of using it but people i spoke to says it works very wlel
