Except it’s meaningless because if people want to put more than that they just create a “thread” of posts that break my brain trying to reassemble. They do nothing but make the experience worse.
It also creates turmoil because people aren’t actually able to explain themselves properly.
Also why does it read everyone involved in the conversation automatically in every post? Why is that necessary?
It’s just stupid on a fundamental level, sorry.

Threads in microblogs baffle me too. Doubly if replies occur mid-thread. Tagging should be limited to the person being replied to and the OP, not everyone.
