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!

Basically this!

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 >>>

Personally I think it's the one key feature Discord is missing. After using discord for about a year, it is the one feature I constantly miss.
I'm an advocate of a reply to message function as it just avoids a lot confusion and hassle.
I've seen several requests of this already with. Some of those more than 200 upvotes. I'm starting to wonder if maybe it's just very hard to implement in Discord or if developers don't like it.

https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360031743291-Message-Threads (1300+ votes)Seems like the linking should be doable as it already exists in developer mode
https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/8zy3r6/link_to_jump_to_a_previous_message_in_any_channel/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=shareAlso I checked in the "chat" section for requests here. It has the second highest number of votes ever, highest for not completed (just answered). While the other four in the top 5 are all completed, in the top 10 there are some that would be difficult or require extra storage. This is probably the easiest request not completed (could be wrong) in the top 10 most votes, only not completed with 10000+ votes. It is also 7th in the highest amount of comments. Meaning there are a lot of users who want this. There are also threads in other places, such as Reddit, that ask about quoting in Discord.
As for how many completed requests there are from chat, it's 22.
Of those only 10 have more than 1000 votes. One has 194, one has 127, one 72, one 62 and the rest(8) way less than 50 votes only (on 22Jan2020).
So don't say this new thread with 267(+) votes doesn't have enough votes, especially when combined with the 13300+ votes from the other big thread.
A lot of people really badly want this function, including me.
Saying that you implemented it when you only implemented a new type of markdown is a bit strange to me. As I'm pretty confident that you also know that is not what everyone wants.
If you don't want to implement it then that's your choice as developers for Discord but then you could at least let us know. (For me that means looking for alternatives that better suit my needs unfortunately)
Not letting people know makes them frustrated and annoyed since it makes people feel like you don't give a fuck and choose to ignore them. Even a simple reply like, we're working on it but can't give you a timeline would be helpful. Also a "sorry we don't plan on implementing this in the near future" would be helpful. Saying you implemented it when you did not is not helpful as it reinforces the believe of, "they don't even pay attention to us at all".

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

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.
