Not a subtweet, but yes I'm saying this because recent events have me thinking about it:

The one best indicator of a good apology is better behavior going forward. That said, nobody is under any obligation to accept your apology, good or not. That's not what apologies are for.
Note, since this isn't a subtweet, I didn't specify what that "better behavior" might be. The specifics will depend on the circumstances. Part of making a good apology is thinking about what those circumstances are, and what that "better behavior" should be.
Since I'm not addressing any specific instance here, but the general point, I can't give any advice or judgement beyond that.
Still, no matter how good your apology is, nobody owes you forgiveness. Apologies are not reset buttons.
