      Is there a word for the style of twitter where you keep adding to the same threads over months or years? I want to try that next year. Any good best practices? Do you bookmark the trailheads or something? @ultimape @SuB8u

      also @mwiik and @chumulu, and more recently @MimeticValue, @GRITCULT, and @NPSix21 are doing it. @desantis had a #root'ing, that seems to have spread the format a bit under 'Xanadu' ideas.

      You travel along the network in one direction -> your curiosity guiding branching paths/backtracking (I think of you as a prolog program searching for 'TRUE'). I am a spider, catching ideas on the web, adjusting scent on the line to direct you down paths. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/phenomena/2011/11/23/spiders-coat-their-silk-with-an-ant-repellent/ …

      I think there are still aspects of it visible from tweetdeck, but I don't use it. Most of Desantis's tricks were for tweetdeck. @mwiik might have a better idea on the features:https://twitter.com/mwiik/status/828695487930892289 …

      Collections is in TweetDeck & refers to a constructed set of tweets. Some people put pre-thread tweetstorms into collections. ...

      I use search here on twitter. But it seems they hide my own tweets from me due to some kind of bug. On Mastodon, I have bookmarks in my browser, but that was because self-searching wasn't a feature until one of the later builds.

      Are you sure? For some reason entire threads are blackhole'd from search. I have to search *other* people's tweets to find this one: https://twitter.com/ultimape/status/975565841973628928 … No combination of words finds a single tweet tied to that set. There are at least two where this happens.pic.twitter.com/Md0pvIOriD
