I will never understand how this became the standard for replies and retweets for Twitter. I feel like I'm having a stroke.

Am I missing something? This is just top-down...

There are 4 users making 4 different levels of posts without any clear delineation. It's all just in one feed. Is the unseen one below a person's tweet, another person's 1:1 retweet, a comment on the tweet, or a comment in the chain of comments?

It might be clear if you spend a lot of time scrolling Twitter, but there have been years of screenshots getting posted and it still looks like nonsense most of the time. Honestly makes me angrier than the takeover of vertical shorts in social media.

In general, the Twitter style UI is cancer for me too. This seems to maybe be a composite from someone who thinks like us, putting the comments in top down for easier digestion, but I understand, its still a bit of a guessing game most times and if anything the composites add to the confusion a lot of the times. I usually have to re-read Twitter screenshots multiple times before I finally get the right order of everything lol

Lmao maybe cleaner looking composites have confused me along the way. It never even enters my mind when it's not all clipped and cropped. Everyone reinterpreting the UI to put memes together and it still being mistakable for the real thing is pretty funny though.
