Rather than linking to a threads post that is a screenshot of the x.com post with little to no commentary, we should be linking to the original x.com post

or to a nitter instance, where you can actually read responses without signing in:

Considering that Twitter doesn't show the original post for non-logged-in users, the screenshot on Threads actually provides a better reading experience for most people!
It seems like sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't, and I can only imagine popularity is somehow the reason.
You're missing a large part of the conversation and context if you don't at least link to the source.
Only if you already have a threads account. On mobile it makes you sign in
Agreed, was slow to load and I just had to find the source post on X to view the real conversation "thread".

This is the first Threads link I've ever seen here. Is that what Threads mainly is, reposting X screenshots and starting a sidechain conversation?

for fucks sakes, don’t link twitter

Use nitter or xcancel
