I notice that @Twitter is experimenting with how it presents threads, prioritizing showing other people's replies to a thread over the continuity of the thread itself, making it look like threads end sooner than they do
I knew the golden age of threading would end eventually

@Twitter wow so I've had 7 hours to get used to this and I really fucking hate it. it's completely broken my experience of twitter. I make threads so that I can revisit them. now I have to click dozens of times to expand my own replies on my own threads. seriously fuck this
Seriously FUCK THIS
I think this might actually be the end of the @visakanv twitter thread show. if I need to spend minutes just to LOAD my own threads so I can READ them, I'm going back to blogging
Found a workaround
I have to search for my threads... in incognito
Adds a whole unnecessary layer of fuckery but ok whatever

twitter: let's optimize for replies by breaking threads!
people: *start replying to earlier tweets in my threads with bits that are already addressed later in those now-broken threads*
me: *starts replying by quote-tweeting later tweets from my threads*
twitter: this is good!

THE USER EXPERIENCE WILL BE DEGRADED UNTIL METRICS IMPROVE
