If sequence ID means what I think it means... then if I reply to a twitter thread that already has 4095 replies... there could be the possibility of a tweet ID collision, possibly causing another tweet made simultaneously to mine to be unretrievable... After years of waiting fruitlessly for Twitter to implement my feature request, it may finally be possible to delete someone else's tweet.

The id of tweets includes the time stamp. The sequence is just an incremental number per server per millisecond. As far as I can see it’s not based on retweets.

  Thanks for the quick explainer on what the sequence is. Reassuring to know it's not the ordered number of tweets in a thread.
