I think “threads” are a legit construct for Microblogging (for want of a better word) platforms and I think Twitter’s model is superior to Farcaster’s.

There I said it.

I miss Usenet. Hopefully I don’t have to miss Twitter too. Absolutely no interest in cryptocurrency or NFTs for their own sakes. https://ratkins.net

I understand that, and I’m saying I don’t like the tradeoff.

they have intentionally made threads on fc difficult, to prioritize responses , I think

Twitter flattens threads (at least at the top level) rather than forcing you to drill down into each reply like Farcaster’s UI does (it presents this way on Tweetbot, and it’s similar in the web UI I think, but I don’t usually use that.) This is much quicker to navigate.

if you can break it down, what would be your ideal model? (some combination of both? something not considered? or does twitter check all the boxes?)
