Move message to thread
With the current implementation of threads, conversations that start and would be good candidates for a thread can end up losing messages because only the selected starting message is actually included in the thread.
Having a permission that lets admins/mods move messages from a channel into a thread would help immensely, that way if we tell people to take things to a thread the entire conversation can go with it rather than being broken up.

A critical feature, really needed, threads are hugely underused because this is missing.

This feature is needed to make threads actually useful after the need occurred for a thread since they aren't always a planned thing, it would help unclutter and even help to find back posts related to the same subject which to me the basic idea of threads is.

+1. I have channels in my server that are 4+ years old, and there's no way I can clean them up using this new feature, unless this is added.

This is my first attempt at running a private discord server for a training project and I have just run into this same problem. I doesn't even seem to be possible for the admin to cut and paste threads. As many others have said, the ability to move threads to another channel is essential.

This would be highly appreciated. In a professional context, threads are a bit too "heavy weight" (for example when compared to Slack's threads). For that reason, threads aren't used as often as they should, leading to situations where discussions clutter up the flow of channels. Being able to "fix" this, by turning a stream of conversation into a separate thread, would help a lot!

I would seriously pay for the ability to move messages in and out of threads, etc. Please, take my money!

Wow, so a year later and it’s still not possible? I haven’t talked to a single server owner that hasn’t needed this ability from the get-go once threads were possible.
We rarely know which comment will trigger the need for a thread and by the time we need to combine them into a thread there’s at least 5-20 additional posts by then all related to the tangent. Threads are great but 95% of the time you need to create one out of multiple messages. So far I have to screenshot all texts that I want moved to the thread and post those images in the thread after the first comment. Then delete each one by one in the main channel. It’s a headache and extremely silly because no one can add reactions to those individual posts once they are in a screenshot, or reply directly to them.
The admin should be able to mass select multiple messages to create a thread with, and it should default to the earliest message selected as the one that remains in the main channel.
This seems like such an oversight in the design and integration of threads. I see so many support complaints about this subject and about the ability to move multiple messages from as far back as 7 years ago!

I have a workaround described here: If you have a better way, please share!

This one uses a bot and technically does not actually achieve the end mean, but It works well enough to keep track of the conversation https://top.gg/bot/1110706043744432128

Most of the time it's not possible to anticipate creating a thread for a conversation. It just happens because there are multiple conversations going on at the same time or a chat has evolved into a themed discussion that would warrant a thread.
When creating a thread, lets us select more messages to add to the thread please!
