If you're not logged into twitter/X you can't read replies or any other context, so thanks for posting that but try to phrase it in a more helpful way instead of assuming we can all see that.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't even realize tweets had replies... the new UI is so confusing I wish we could ban tweets as sources
I had no idea, thanks!

It shows this: (why no reply count??)

I didn't know either.

I wonder if the reason it doesn't show a reply count is because the reply was from the same author as the first tweet so it's really a thread, not a reply. I'm not sure though, maybe Twitter never shows a reply count.
