I have always believed the thread was a magnificently useful artifact that “long posts” simply cannot replicate.

With threads, users can boost or reply to only that sub-part of the topic they wish to respond to or annotate. You cannot do that with big blobs of (often long-winded) texts.

While composing in #Sidetoolz, I can easily force a new item between texts of my thread simply by clicking on the “break” icon in my composer window. Like so… 1/2

This is a #sidetoolz quoted post using an image. Real quoted posts are coming, but this will always have value. Sometimes you’d rather screencap than quote. So you’ll have the option.

This is my very first post to Mastodon from our #Sidetoolz app, the mother of all browser extensions. Coming soon to a Chromestore near you.

I will try authoring a thread in a moment.
