Channels - manage channels, join or leave them, invite other chat members, or reference channel names in messages through hashtags.
Users - manage users, track user's presence, mention users, manage permissions or report users for misbehaving.
Messages - manage messages, add reactions, forward messages to others, pin them to channels, add quotes or links, create threads or send files, report offensive messages, or shows users how many messages they missed while they were offline through unread messages.
