Re:Discord Launches Threads

One thing that I don’t like is that I have to click a checkbox every time I want to submit a reply to a thread to the channel that the thread is in. Not everyone in the channel is notified in the same way when additional replies are made within a thread within the channel.

Which, indeed, is the point. Threads are primarily useful in very busy channels with multiple conversations happening. The point of a thread is to get the conversation out of the main channel so it doesn't disrupt other discussions. If you want every message to go to the main channel, just post it there, not in a thread. IMHO that checkbox shouldn't even exist.
