It’s also dumb when I have to read 3 tweets in a sequence by the same person trying to get a single point across, each one with a different set of comments, likes, and retweets.
Im not sure this will fix it though, maybe it will help. I feel like the same could be accomplished with an expando at whatever limit they set. That way when I browse twitter the tweet boxes are still the same size as originally, and if i want to read more I can tap the expand box button.
- rollinDyno 9y agoI enjoy being able to choose a specific statement and spin off a whole debate from there. I often think Twitter’s main problem is their inability to play this to their advantage. What if they could organise threads where if the author changes their mind in an earlier tweet (the premise), then the later tweets would no longer follow and stop forming a valid argument.
- partiallypro 9y agoThey could fix this by fixing how they thread tweets. Currently they thread tweets, but it's grouped in a weird way and sometimes someone that isn't the person that threaded them is in the middle of the thread. Also, instead of making people manually put (1/x) they could just create a counter and put them in sequential order treating any time the author only replies to themselves (which is how you thread) as the thread, but any reply to someone not themselves as outside of the thread. I'm sure that's complex, but I believe it could be done with some logic.
