it would mean that seeing other than the single path up would be hard to do as well. you'd click on what you reply to, if it's a reply, you click on that, etc etc ad lib to fade

Although, you could get around that with a filter, by saying,

🔗 Show me the chain.

That's not a true thread, but would display them in order.

yeah, also you could have a setting "don't show quote replies from follows if you mute the quoted npub"

this would end thread notification trolling

and bury the thread references in a menu button that is in the overflow ...
