I notice that @Twitter is experimenting with how it presents threads, prioritizing showing other people's replies to a thread over the continuity of the thread itself, making it look like threads end sooner than they do I knew the golden age of threading would end eventually https://t.co/7IwDM3XHOX

@Twitter wow so I've had 7 hours to get used to this and I really fucking hate it. it's completely broken my experience of twitter. I make threads so that I can revisit them. now I have to click dozens of times to expand my own replies on my own threads. seriously fuck this

@visakanv Alternative, though not the same: Collections or Moments. Collections are even searchable in themselves

I think this might actually be the end of the @visakanv twitter thread show. if I need to spend minutes just to LOAD my own threads so I can READ them, I'm going back to blogging

twitter: let's optimize for replies by breaking threads! people: *start replying to earlier tweets in my threads with bits that are already addressed later in those now-broken threads* me: *starts replying by quote-tweeting later tweets from my threads* twitter: this is good!

THE USER EXPERIENCE WILL BE DEGRADED UNTIL METRICS IMPROVE

@visakanv i only started writing on twitter a couple years ago, so seeing how threads used to load in their entirety is like - i didn't know what i'd been missing, AND, that feels like a quaint problem compared now when they're not showing that tweets are part of a thread at all!

@visakanv @Twitter ...yes...? Like, sometimes it might be better or faster to have a second workaround, if/when twitter decides logged out people get the same experience as logged in people

@imhinesmi @Twitter there's two things here 1: I have thousands of threads and I don't remember what the last tweets of each thread are 2: even if I did remember, while it helps me find and read the threads, it still breaks my threads for everyone else
