On: Discord Launches Threads

Assuming you're an Administrator, it's covered by that.

They aren't.

Its a common system to only have the server owner and maybe 1 or 2 other people with the administrator permission.

I personally run a 5k user discord with only me as the admin, and like 90 mods who can do varying levels of things.

Why discord didn't make it default to on for people with manage_messages i don't understand.

I cynically think that they wanted to make it a bit hard to disable threads so people would experiment with the feature on rollout.

Otherwise they would have enabled the feature and defaulted it to off. I found out that we had threads enabled when someone created a thread.

More likely all the developers who tested the rollout were admins on the servers they were testing on so nobody foresaw this problem
