Everyone hates Twitter’s new @reply changes
The company has made it so that @reply names don’t count against the 140 character limit anymore, while also shifting @reply names above the other text in the tweet. The changes have not gone down well with users.
USERS: we love twitter but it has problems
TWITTER: great we’ll fix them
USERS: do you want to know what they are
TWITTER: absolutely not

The new format for twitter replies makes it look like people are just tweeting random sentences. It’s kind of great. pic.twitter.com/Zl8F4QJvQG
