One thing that could be improved about , or at least 's version, is that if there's a thread going on and you reply to an item in it, and the person who wrote that item then blocks you, there is afaict no affordance at all to find the rest of the thread again...

@ceoln not in your posts and replies? I've never had this situation

@mapto

Oh, I can find my reply! But I can't find the rest of the thread, preceding the one that I was replying to, whose author has now blocked me; my reply looks purely standalone now.

On the birdsite, in the same situation, my reply would still be linked to the thread: depending on day of the week, it would either show as a reply to a post that was now not visible to me, or it would show (often confusingly) as a reply to some random prior tweet.

@ceoln@qoto.org
Yeah, hate that. If you have an alt account on another server you could search for your original post that you got blocked on (just paste the post url in the search), and the alt might be able to see the full thread.

@trinsec

Ooh, that is brilliant! I bet that would work. (I eventually found it just scrolling endlessly through the OPs posts, since the OPs identity did remain in my reply.)
