Except it’s meaningless because if people want to put more than that they just create a “thread” of posts that I then break my brain trying to reassemble. They do nothing but make the experience worse.
It also creates turmoil because people aren’t actually able to explain themselves properly.
Also why does it tag everyone involved in the conversation automatically in every post? Why is that necessary?
Threads in microblogs baffle me too. Doubly if replies occur mid-thread. Tagging should be limited to the person being replied to and the OP, not everyone.
There’s no automatic tagging necessary at all. Like you just replied to me, without a tag, and I got a notification in my inbox. There’s no need to tag OP or anyone else in this thread unless your reply pertains to them, in which case you can tag them manually.
Now my inbox isn’t filled with a bunch of irrelevant nonsense to sift through and the comments aren’t filled with a dozen pointless tags.

It’s just stupid on a fundamental level, sorry.
