You can add new messages to a thread over time, and threads tend to resurface frequently in Twitter's algorithmic timeline when you add to them. Plus, threads have advantages that Notes don't. It's an overdue idea, but as of this writing, it's only available to a small group of people to try out and there's no official timeline for wider release. Notes lets you post longer messages, almost like a blog. Twitter knows creating and reading threads isn't an ideal experience, which is why the company announced Notes, a feature that could replace threads (Opens in a new window), but which isn't yet widely available. Even with this functionality, though, it's confusing to both make and read threads.
Now, all you need to do is respond to your first tweet with yet another new tweet and then another. Later Twitter added official support for threads. In ancient times (think 2012), people made threads by writing a bunch of tweets and adding numbers to the end so readers knew in what order to read them. Twitter famously limits how long tweets can be, so users found a workaround: posting a bunch of tweets in a row. They're a feature that Twitter only developed after users began making them ad hoc.
Twitter threads are confusing, and there's a reason for that.
