    I used Twitter briefly years before Muskrat. The middle post is the OP post, which is the Tweet. Right below that, a user commented on the Tweet. And so the original poster then can do something called a “quote retweet” which shares the context below your new tweet. It’s weird and took me a while to get used to that design convention. Easy for Xitter users to understand once they’re entrenched in the user experience, but difficult for persons outside of the platform to make sense of it. Anyway I don’t hang out at Nazi bars so I’m not on Xitter any longer.

      I had the same problem with long indentations when reddit was new and you’d get to the end of a comment chain and see a reply to something wasyy up top.

      Got used to it quick after I learned about collapsing threads
