@prologic It’s really funny to see how so many forms of communication gravitate towards “let’s just do full threading, we should have done it from that start”. 🤔

@movq Nah it’s just an interesting property of the Twt Hashes we came up with 🤣 So… We should build a button for it ☺️

@prologic Let’s just say, I’ve seen this happen with multiple products at work: Step 1, someone builds something which doesn’t support a “reply” feature at all. Step 2, the thing grows, now people want “reply”. Step 3, it gets confusing with all the linear replies and now people want “full threading”. 😁 That’s also basically what happened to twtxt/yarn. Maybe, over time, everything evolves into Usenet. 🤣

Convergent evolution, just like how creatures keep evolving to resemble crabs.

@mckinley I just had a really weird mind picture of a crab-like human. Maybe something like this crab-like human picture?

@prologic @movq @darch @mckinley @brasshopper So we're only still missing the hierarchy advantage from Usenet here. ;-)
