Thanks to the Discourse team for introducing chat threads: [Introducing chat threads!](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-chat-threads/270613)

Our team of around 50 people wants to move from Slack to another tool. Right now I’m searching for an alternative. Maybe Discourse is a better place for us.

We are using chat threads in direct messages all the time. Around 50% of conversations take place in direct messages for our team.

It seems that I can only enable chat threading for public channels. Is it possible to enable threading for DM’s?

If not, could you please add threading for DMs?

Right now chat threads is disabled by default. I would also like an option to enable threads by default for all public channels and/or DMs inside admin/site\_settings/category/chat.

Feel free to close or merge this topic if a related topic already exists. I searched if someone else already askes this question, but could not find related topics. https://meta.discourse.org/search?q=discourse%20chat%20threads%20dm
