 Isn't wanting to re-create Twitter threads a self-limiting idea?  Threads are a workaround for the short-form nature of Twitter.  On Nostr, if you have more to say, there are long-form note kinds that support that. 
 It's not. I randomly came across interesting topics while scrolling on Twitter. It's not the same user experience as going to a separate site like Habla and start scanning titles. That would work exactly like going from Twitter to Medium.

What is different in Nostr is that kind 1 clients could technically show long-form content (folded) and one could click to load more if the first paragraph sounds interesting. 
 That might be the way to go.  Habla.news is a relay just like any other, so any client can read from it and render the content however it fits best within the framework of the app. 
 Found this by chance

 Good points made there.  On the other hand, though, I'd contend that character limits can cause conversations to lose nuance.  Being able to spin off discussions on different entries in a thread has value, I can see, but I wonder what limiting ourselves only to bite-sized discussion points does to our mind.

There's a place for Twitter, and a place for other platforms as well. 
 Yes, someone mentioned highlights could be used to make comments on specific chunks of text

I really hope there's no more place for Twitter in this world 😂 
 if you viewed the thread as a chat spinoffs would be quoted replies
