Strange bug in Twitter on 3 browsers now

[steve2470]

Here is the bug:

Link to tweet

Try to see the replies to her. I cannot, on Edge, Chrome or Opera Beta so far. You normally see replies by left-clicking to the left of the quote icon. eta: add Firefox Nightly, Seamonkey, Vivaldi and Opera stable to that list.


Now see the difference here:

Link to tweet

If you click to the left of the quote icon, you can easily see the replies.

Ever seen this bug in Twitter before? I have not.

1. If she is blocking people, are their replies hidden for everyone?

I don't use Twitter, so I am not familiar with how their software works.

2. I don't know

I know for a fact she is not blocking me, because she follows me and I can direct message her in private.

3. Did you reply to that tweet and can't see your own reply?

If you haven't replied and just can't see other replies, perhaps she is "muting" some accounts.

Mute is a feature that allows you to remove an account's Tweets from your timeline without unfollowing or blocking that account. Muted accounts will not know that you’ve muted them and you can unmute them at any time.

4. I replied to that tweet and I can see my own reply

Yea maybe she is muting people. I know she gets trolled and harassed on a regular basis.

5. I see one reply. Twitter says there are three.

If I had a Twitter account, I would "mute" some accounts to see what happens on my own threads there - and probably message someone to find out how it affects their view as well.

Maybe there is a better explanation of how the Twitter software features work somewhere but since I don't use it, I'm not inclined to go searching for it. Maybe someone who knows something will show up in this thread to enlighten us.
