Context?

Or is this a reply to the person saying homeschooling should be illegal?

Why is microblogging UX so strange?

Someone tweeted that homeschooling should largely be illegal.

Someone else quoted the tweet them and said people like them should be hung. Quoting a tweet is like replying while also saying, "HEY, EVERYBODY, LOOK AT THIS!"

Then a third person corrected the second person's grammar.

It could be assumed that the second person was homeschooled, but there's no evidence within the picture to support that.

Because you can quote someone without actually speaking to them, and the UI has to show that as well as replies to that exchange.

It’s not perfect but it makes sense in context. Also, they all have timestamps so that should make the progression obvious.
