True, quote tweeting (I think you mean retweet with comment) yourself is another option, however I don't see it as fundamentally different to replies.
If people are liking, retweeting, or replying to the original tweet, it will continue to show up in the feeds of others through the home feed algorithm. Thus, the same forces apply that strongly favor the original over the correction.
- memexy 6y agoThat's a good point but if you actually want to verify whether the original author retracted their statement then you can do localized search, e.g. "from:author 'I was wrong'". It's true the feed will show different results but I only use twitter by searching now and it's a much better experience. Tweetdeck allows me to curate exactly what I want to be aware of instead of being beholden to algorithmic manipulation.
