Double border = this tweet/reply has replies of its own — click it, then Expand Replies to go a level deeper. Works on reply nodes too, so a thread nests as deep as it actually goes.
A user/retweeter node's photo is their real avatar when one was captured (cookie mode) — the plain purple circle is the fallback when it wasn't.
Expanding a node further
Tweet/Reply — Expand Replies, Expand Retweets, or View Author Profile (pulls the author out as its own node, free — no request, the data's already on the tweet). User/Retweeter — Expand Posts, Expand Followers, or Expand Following. Works on a "View Author" node too, so a reply's author can be looked up in full: posts, followers, following.
Edge labels show how two nodes relate once expanded: replied by, retweeted by, posted, followed by, follows, authored by. A plain unlabeled edge just means "matched the search."
quoted — a quote-tweet's edge to the tweet it quoted, drawn only when that original tweet already exists as its own node in this graph (no "expand quotes" action exists, so it's opportunistic like other correlations below).
Correlation — this connects to a node already reached some other way (e.g. a reply's author who also turns up as a follower). Marks where two separate paths through the graph converge on the same account/tweet.
