I _have_ to admit the new Twt Context that's basically inline is _really_ helping me a lot with keeping context and track of what conversation is what, often without having to go visit the entire Yarn itself π

@prologic indeed. I really love it! What's missing it would be more complicated to implement, I think. And that is, target replies to their replied twt within a yarn. Meaning the Twt Context would link to specific twt being replied to in a yarn. That would make Twt Content simply amazing.
You've lost me there I'm afraid π

I _think_ I would get utterly confused if the Twt's Context was simply what it was directly replied to, rather the the Root of the Conversation.

@prologic sorry, let me explain graphically. I am replying to your twt. Pretend the below is the Twt Context for this twt:

See what I mean?
@fastidious I fI understand what you're saying _correctly_ (_which I may not be!_) I _think_ this behaviour would make "Conversations" / "Yarns" meaningless. I _think_ it's useful to have topics/conversation and have that as the "Twt Context" IHMO. I _could_ be wrong here. But if I'm engaging with you like I am now, I don't actually need to see what you wrote last, as my memory is pretty decent π

But that the "topic" if you will for this Yarn is:

@prologic you wrote:

I believe it is the contrary. Right now, to add context that makes sense, specially on longer yarns, we do what I just did here, we quote, or paraphrase the words the OT (original twter) wrote, to give meaning to our reply. If the Twt Context were to work like I described, that will not longer be needed. If someone wants to know "what the heck is this guy talking about", the Twt Context link will quickly clarify it.
@fastidious Ahh but contraire what would be the point of having "conversations" and "forks" then I ask you π
Shall we jump on a quick video call and discuss? I have some time before I jump in the shower π€£

@fastidious And to be fair, I _usually_ only quote part of an OP's Twt if there's some subset/part I wish to reply to/address, And quite often that'll mean I'm forking the original conversation/yarn anyway and so I do that too π
