When people "thread" they are not replying to "themselves" the same way I am now replying to you. The new UI conflates all this.

See below. I didn't realize you had tweeted AT me till someone else replied to us both. If you reply TO me that is crucial info.pic.twitter.com/N2f3rGlHvk

Twitter would benefit from more characters. Taking links, mentions (not up to 50! Maybe 5. Maybe 10) off the limit is fine. +

But right now I lost any sense of visibility; threads and replies are conflated. There is much to improve in threads (which are great).+

Right now, deleting a tweet in the middle breaks the thread. Let me reattach. Quoting a tweet breaks thread. Which isn't good. etc.

More thread functionality, for sure, but I am lost on who sees what; feels clunky to add or delete people, threads & replies are confusing.

I cannot see how this is any clearer to a new user? Also, 50 person twitter canoes invite abuse & confusion. 5 or 10 is reasonable.

Also, I now find that I cannot remove all users from a reply... I can remove one person, but not necessarily the other?

There is a great Twitter move--you reply and put the person's name at the end. Shocked your UX people don't know this. This killed it.

Some of Twitter's great moments come from people having control over replies and visibility. I now feel like I have a lot less.

I'm going to leave it here because I am not even sure if I am just talking to myself, or to our mutual followers, or what? sigh
