↳ In-reply-to » I’m still more in favor of (replyto:…). It’s easier to implement and the whole edits-breaking-threads thing resolves itself in a “natural” way without the need to add stuff to the protocol.

I just realized the other big property you lose is:

What if someone completely changes the content of the root of the thread?

Does the Subject reference the feed and timestamp only or the intent too?

Then the content of that root twt changes. Just like it would with (edit:…). The only difference is that you cannot go back to that person’s feed and find out what the original content was.

In other words, we can’t (reliably) show a little star * like on Mastodon to indicate edits.
