More detailed quote options
With the introduction of block quotes we have finally the ability to quote messages.
But they are not very detailed and can be easily faked. So I'm suggesting a change for more detailed quotes; it would look like this:
Author of the original Message
Time of the original Message
Quoted text
Maybe even a jumplink to the original message
You can access this quote menu via the message menu (three dots) or via message ID.

A comment thread? How would that work, and where would it go? Can't you just DM somone? 1 -
Couldn't you just create channels per topic required? As channels are already super customizable. 0 -
do you mean being able to write a message and then someone being able to reddit style reply to it?

For all people who said that it's already possible, please read the full suggestion. thank you.

Just like slack. It should be. It is so hard to understand who writen to who and mentioned to which words. “>words” copy paste action is totaly porter.

I second this! Should definitely be added. It's really annoying if you want to have somebody look at something in another channel and that channel is flooding with messages so that what you want to show them disappears, like a video you shared in that text channel or something. This would be great!

Interesting idea, but that would be weird seeing in Discord itself - it seems more like something that would fit a forums website more than anything. Sorry, but I personally don't see the purpose or need in this feature.

Sad thing is, there has been a thread which addressed this before but has been marked as answered for some reason: https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360030063152-Quoting?page=5#community_comment_360008074471

@SomebodyElse, the Slack function is to share a message with a comment above, but it also has threading option.
For Discord a normal Quote button as some have photoshopped nicely would be the greatest option instead of having to do it yourself by either > or >>>

While this being a good idea, i think this one should be dealt with first:

Please, consider upvoting.1 -

I agree that this would be a welcome QoL feature. Here's a mock-up of what I had in mind.
I realize these topics are very old with no apparent acknowledgment from the development team, but I feel that continuing to provide constructive and detailed feedback is the best way to get things done.
