not sure how you usually do threads but imo, a thread on nostr should not be a chain of replies, but replies to the same root, this way it gets easier to display the thread, otherwise it's just a mess of nested content when you always reply to the last note.

bad:

1st

|_ 2nd

|_|_ 3rd

|_|_|_ 4th

good:

1st

|_ 2nd

|_ 3rd

|_ 4th

No, a thread is a chain of replies. Clients need to be smart enough to display them in a flat way, even though the structure is nested. Twitter got that right.

I flatten the thread as you can see here so I account for both:

my layout displays threads either chained or not, but I still think structurally / hierarchically, the information flow should not be nested. just how my brain works...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
