This should be solved with this change:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/532d656d17649a76471dabb7709dac494fef5dc8](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/532d656d17649a76471dabb7709dac494fef5dc8)

It’s worth noting that this will take effect for all new DM chats initiated. Existing chats are not changed but threads can still be turned off manually within each channel’s settings.
