In this image because there is a screenshot.
Agreed. The microblogging format is more for one-way communication (i.e. 1 poster to many viewers). Trying to have a discussion or even just reading a discussion on twitter, mastodon, etc. is a terrible experience.

It's like the word balloons in a comic book. You just kinda work out the order via context.
In comics there's variation on common forms but most have set sequences that just may vary between countries because of the directions of reading. Lots of manga even have the authors preferred style described at the start of the book now.
