Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
On some controversial subjects, authors who are faced with notes that contradict them simply delete their tweet and republish it afresh.
Even when adding new notes, they continue.
I'd like to open the discussion to see how this kind of behavior could be handled. Sometimes several notes that provided interesting context have disappeared.
Describe the solution you'd like
I don't have any particular solution, but I'd like to have a discussion to find something simple to implement.
If a tweet is deleted, would it be possible to find the note associated with it?
If a note disappears, could its author be notified (and still have access to his copy)?
One idea might be to mention in the attributes that the original tweet has been deleted (with a screenshot of the original containing the presence of notes) if an author of the original note comes back to the new tweet. (I know it's a complicated process).
Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
Additional context
It's a complex subject so discussion would help gather ideas to sort through.
