Description
When a chain of replies gets bigger and bigger, It would be nice to be able to convert it into a thread, pulling into the thread the entirety of the existing chain of replies.
There's no need of removing the history from the conversation, but there could be a system message saying:
"Maksim converted the [discussion title] into a thread"
[Discussion title] could be set by user creating thread, could be the first message, or could also be AI generated if available
