Some people - like myself - prefer to see all the messages go past and mentally thread them. It’s a skill I learnt from many years of irc use. Others prefer to click through and not think about thread content until they choose to.

Also I’d rather not grab my mouse to see things.

Use the up and down arrows to navigate to the message you want and hit T to switch to the thread side view. Similarly, you can do the same to find your own messages and use E to edit them.

I have not tried threads yet but I have been assured they are fully accessible via the keyboard only.

They emphatically are not.

In what way? I'd like to tell them about it; they've explicitly asked for feedback on this.

Oh, sorry; I thought you were talking about Slack threads. I can't speak to Discord threads.

Why not just try to unlearn that, because it is a massive waste of mental effort in a lot of situations?
