Aren't Slack's threaded conversations basically a new take on usenet? It's not distributed, and silo'ed of course.. but it's the same idea if you squint.

But that's the key.

Can I write my own slack client to automate everything just the way I want to, relying only on standard APIs that cannot go away?

Same sort of flow, sort of. Not distributed and siloed are very big differences.
