Speaking of twitter conversations...

If you click on a tweet and it has "answers", you go to some "conversation mode". When the tweet itself is an answer to another tweet, you have a link "view conversation" that opens the same mode; but the first tweet does not have that link. Furthermore, if some answer opens a different subthread, you hav a link "view other replies" on it. The "back" button on the browser brings you back to the last view if you click on that. Yes, it's kind of baroque.

HTH,

Good question. From what I've figured out, Twitter threads are structurally similar to Slashdot ones (in terms of how the comments nest and collapse), except there's zero visual indentation cues.

how the heck does one go about reading them? Please tell me it's really not a matter of opening multiple user pages and rethreading the conversation myself?

Streisand effect, huh. Yeah, being open about imperfections is rule 1 of handling community, at least in the tech world but probably everywhere.

It's a pretty damning example of bad community management, that's for sure. As a result of that, I was exposed to a bunch of GRSec criticism that I'd otherwise not have seen, which has been food for thought.

I had been asking why Grsecurity wasn't in mainline.

That twitter thread answered my question.
