tweet thread
Connected social messages
A tweet thread is a series of connected posts on X (formerly Twitter), where someone chains multiple tweets together to develop a longer argument or story than a single post allows.
The author replies to their own tweets in sequence, creating a numbered or flowing narrative: I want to explain why I quit my job. A thread.
Readers follow along or wait until the thread is complete.
