If you've ever used Discord this is how threads function. The structure is as such:

Category > Channel > Thread

This could work in ClickUp if we can have workspace "Sections" that can possibly even sync with Spaces? then within those spaces/sections you have your channels (this is how it is currentiy.)

The addition would be to add in THREADS as branching off conversations that you can access in the side bar similar to how discord works. This is a great feature that can help keep conversations within a single space but have temporary mini projects or sprints or even just side bars.

This is not to be confused with "REPLYING in thread"... in which most cases is useless. Can we have replying just quote the OP message and then have the response below it?
