They don't show the first tab if you've never tweeted by yourself before. Tweets that start with an @ symbol are special in that they are treated as only replies. As far as I can tell Tay has zero tweets that don't start with an @ sybol.
- danso 11y agoAh...that's what I would have guessed, but that seems like such an edge case that I figured Twitter devs wouldn't bother accommodating it. How many users/bots have never done a non-reply tweet? And for those that always just reply, only a subset of those want their replies to be seen for public spectacle. Seems like it'd be easier just to show an empty list for Tweets with a link to the "See Tweets & Replies" tab, which has the added effect of reminding users, hey, did you know there's a difference between tweets and @replies?
