> Slack threads are hard to enforce, you can "break out of the jail" easily, often by mistake.

In particular, image uploads (and possibly other attachments?) are always posted to the main channel, even if the message they were attached to was in a thread. Trying to conduct an image-heavy discussion -- like a discussion about a graphical design -- in a thread will just mean the main chat gets interrupted by a bunch of out-of-context images.



This was improved over recent months by Slack.
