I like the approach where you can just scroll to read instead of having to click through the entire thread manually. I don’t mind twitters implementation here.
Discussion
So twitter for me seems to show replies in the order that the original poster has replied to most recently. Other than that idk how they’re sorted. But it does seem to work
The Reddit/Apollo way is actually like this because they only expand the reply tree under each comment a set number of steps before collapsing it with an expand on tap button, then it jumps back to a top level reply again and repeats.
Twitter seems to do this if the original poster is replying, otherwise it maybe shows the first reply of a Blue subscriber, mostly just first level replies in a list.
I think the advantage of Reddit’s model is it surfaces the most engaged comments at the top with the most replies and discussion. You could have a great long thread between ppl in Twitter replies but if the original poster hasn’t been part of it recently it might not show to most users very prominently.
