Rocket.chat: Add ability to unsubscribe from threads

[robbyoconnor]

It doesn't seem to be clear how to remove ourselves from threads. If not possible, it should be.

I propose we have a group in the sidebar for threads like we do discussions.

@RocketChat/core didn't we have the ability to follow / unfollow during development of this feature? It seems to have disappeared or not made it into the final version?

Actually seems to have been commented out here: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/pull/14268

@robbyoconnor actually that feature was removed from the message actions ( and I didnt like it) but now you can unfollow clicking here(bell)

The UX for that is horrible. I should also see it in the thread side-view, but I don't.

[robbyoconnor]

Also to add onto this, that bell is so tiny it's not funny, what if someone is visually impaired?

I'm trying to not be negative and bitter over this whole thing, but it's getting really hard, the saving grace is how receptive you folks are to feedback, but it shouldn't have taken this 2 point releases in less than a week.

@robbyoconnor 🤷‍♂

Wait, what is supposed to be meant by that :man_shrugging: emoji?

means sorry about:

I'm trying to not be negative and bitter over this whole thing ... but it shouldn't have taken this 2 point releases in less than a week.

but there is nobody to blame, its not our intention turn the things worst... the only thing I/we can do its accept the feedback and fix soon as possible :) :(

This is a really good point which we really need to be more considerate of

Also regarding to this, there should be switch in settings for default behaviour: Following or Unfollowing by default.

For example most of our users don't want to follow by default and having main chat "spammed" by replies in thread conversation that they are not interested in.

Either global settings or maybe better in Default User Preference / User Preference so that each user can tweak how they want it.
