Following a conversation / thread is a hot mess at the best of times, it’s mostly just brain farts, and #people #write #out #things #like #this #as #some #sort #of #shitty #search #engine #optimization #because #EVERYONE #MUST #FIND #MY #BRAIN #FART #AT #ALL #COSTS .
If you have something of substance to say, just blog it or make a post on a proper platform where you can actually make your point without the reader having to put together the worst IKEA jigsaw puzzle known to humans. The technology to edit/update a post has existed forever, so it’s stupid to just keep replying to yourself as new information “breaks”.
Microblogging is dumb.

I don’t mind it if it’s short. As soon as we are talking about a long thread, I just wish that they created their own blog instead. I find reading long threads annoying
That’s basically my take. I used Twitter way back in the day before it went to shit, and there were some legit good accounts that could make witty, well thought out takes in 120 characters (which was the point of the platform). The others I followed were either news orgs or security researchers where they just linked to their main platforms proper.
But the way most people use it, ugh!
