The user that screenshooted it had the bottom post selected, that's why it's bigger. However, top to bottom is the normal chronological order, see how they mention the other one to respond in the second and third posts.

    Sometimes screencaps of xitter posts look like the repost the original post is below, and the repost's comments are above. It's really annoying, and makes it hard to tell on other screencaps where it should be obvious that it's read top-down.

    That happens when someone "quotes" a tween instead of responding to it. This is not twitter technically tho.

    I realize that, what I said was that the prevalence of posts (mostly from xitter) that read bottom to top creates the situation where it's not automatically obvious at a glance that a post should be ready from top-down anymore. Hence the confusion of the commenter above.

    I was explaining why they had to ask, not wondering why this post is read top-down.
