It looks like Twitch chat is getting reply threads: [https://twitter.com/Lowco2525/status/1292933791623913473](https://twitter.com/Lowco2525/status/1292933791623913473)

I can’t find an official announcement or docs on this and it seems not to be rolled out to everyone yet, but is there a way I can test this out?

The tag seems to be a custom one [https://twitter.com/GStefanowich/status/1293258059951812610](https://twitter.com/GStefanowich/status/1293258059951812610) which is par for the course with Twitch “IRC”, but FWIW there is an official draft IRCv3 tag work in progress for this here: [https://ircv3.net/specs/client-tags/reply](https://ircv3.net/specs/client-tags/reply) (I proposed this tag and have implemented it in IRCCloud)

Is this legit, is the tag finalised, and is the Twitch team interested in developer feedback/testing?

Twitch are testing the new feature and may not have rolled it out to everyone.
