I don't think I will ever figure out the order to read these things.

Just... Why? Wouldn't you want it to be formatted in a way that's immediately obvious what order to read them?

I used bluesky lately (which i guess uses the same format?) and it looks like so because we are viewing a reply(3) to a post (2) that cite another post (1)

Thanks. I hate it.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

So convenient.

Genuine question: what's confusing about this post?

There are some that are confusingly structured, but this one should be quite obvious

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Obvious would be top to bottom. You know, like how every human reads.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For replies, yes. And that is the case. But the first one is a quote, not a reply

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

And it makes sense to put the reply before the thing they're replying to.

You have to read the posts and then put them in order yourself. I see these a lot and I'm still only ever like 90% sure I'm ordering them right.

The other commenter is right, its a stupid way to list a chain of events considering its out of order and doesn't even start with "1".
