"Replying to" is now small in UI, but Twitter is a place for conversation, not random words floating around. Conversation is between people.

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.

Conversation is as much about the metadata (the @ convention) as the content. UI needs to bring back clarity to parties to the conversation.

on the timeline you lose that this tweet is a reply looks like regular tweet. only when engaged to view thread you notice it's a reply.pic.twitter.com/HCFtpvczFh

Yep, totally confusing. That is exactly what I mean with broken threads. Also, I want to switch order of replies here—for visibility. Can't.

In the past, I would make this @jack first so it would be visible to our mutual followers--where the convo started. Now can't.
