Seems pretty intuitive. | boomboomsubban wrote: | Sounds like hell for people using headphones at night. | devmor wrote: | Why not just link to the original reddit thread in the tweet? | satellites wrote: | Gotta get those engagement metrics. Also it actually is nice | having them all in a row in a tweet thread. | Rattled wrote: | It is, until you get to all the Musk and Tate posts under the | thread. | washadjeffmad wrote: | They do at the end, but using reddit is more annoying than any | of those volume controls. Did you try navigating that thread? | Over 400 replies and no way to conveniently filter, sort, or | search. Not worth it. | ilyt wrote: | link to old.reddit.com | washadjeffmad wrote: | That's all I use, pared down further still with RES. | virtualwhys wrote: | > Over 400 replies and no way to conveniently filter, sort, | or search.

Like it's almost | like a troll what is there now! | glitchc wrote: | Didn't I say Twitter would turn into Parler 2.0? It's well on | its way. | irrational wrote: | It's kind of weird that you saw those. I got to the end and saw | "More Tweets" and left. I had to go back and scroll further | down to even see what you were talking about. | roomey wrote: | Well, I will also in future, lesson learned here. | | I guess I though the "more tweets" would have something | related to the thread I was just looking at, they really | didn't! | [deleted] ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2023-04-02 23:00 UTC)
