# Reply in a Discussion

### To post a thread reply in a discussion, click the :parrot:`Anonymous Reply` button after a discussion has been started in a channel.

{% hint style="info" %}
Discussions can be found by [**searching**](https://slack.com/help/articles/202528808-Search-in-Slack) in Slack or using the list view in the :speech\_balloon:`Discussions` section of the Proper App Home.
{% endhint %}

#### Users replying to the Discussion will be given animal emoji aliases to preserve the flow of conversation without revealing any person's identity.  Once set, your alias will not change in a discussion.

In each discussion, aliases assigned **randomly** and are **not** **transferable** between discussions.

> E.g. If you are assigned the 🐯 in one discussion, you could be the assigned the :camel: in another discussion.

#### The creator (OP) of a discussion will always have the 🐧 emoji.

{% hint style="info" %}
Reply directly (as you normally would in a thread) if you **do not** wish to remain anonymous.
{% endhint %}
