This is why I never got into Twitter. The OP is in the middle, the reply is is at the bottom, and the OP's reply to that response is at the top. How does that order make sense?

I used Twitter briefly years before Muskrat. The middle post is the OP post, which is the Tweet. Right below that, a user commented on the Tweet. And so the original poster then can do something called a “quote retweet” which shares the context below your new tweet. It’s weird and took me a while to get used to that design convention. Easy for Xitter users to understand once they’re entrenched in the user experience, but difficult for persons outside of the platform to make sense of it. Anyway I don’t hang out at Nazi bars so I’m not on Xitter any longer.

I had the same problem with long indentations when reddit was new and you'd get to the end of a comment chain and see a reply to something wasyy up top.

Got used to it quick after I learned about collapsing threads

Why didn't you ever get into Twitter?

Does this mean Stevo likes Trump? Guess I shouldn't be surprised if he does.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days ago (2 children)

That’s not Steve-o from Jackass. That’s just some jackass named Steve-o. Come on man, don’t be like these idiots on twitter just seeing a name and believing it’s that person.

It's not their fault for trusting a checkmark as identity verification like checks notes every other website including this one until a year ago.

[–] tacosplease 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Haha appreciate it. You'll have to forgive my ignorance as I've never used Twitter.
