I had the same confusion. I was missing the fact that there are apparently 3 separate things.
1) "new" tweets - reach all followers
2) replies - not seen by followers
3) retweets - not sure if these are "new" tweets, but they also reach all followers
Maybe there are other kinds of tweets also. I couldn't make any sense of this announcement until I realized that replies are not "new" tweets.
- sbierwagen 10y agoVanilla retweets only show up on your followers' timelines if their TL doesn't already contain the tweet. The idea is that you shouldn't see the same tweet twice. (There is a timeout, I don't know how long it is) Quote retweets do what you'd expect, though.
- recursive 10y ago> Quote retweets do what you'd expect I hope you meant the proverbial "you". Personally, I can't find a reason to expect any particular behavior in that case. I've never been able to figure twitter out.
