From foone itself:
> they don't have the endless editing I get into with blog posts
I don't know if this is true or not, however Twitter is one of the only platforms that doesn't have an edit button. So it makes sense that Twitter may helps remove from people with ADHD the sentiment of "oh, maybe there is something that I can still improve from this post" before publishing it.
- mruts 7y agoI dunno, maybe he should work on that? I mean, you can’t let your weaknesses define you forever, right?
- taejo 7y agoMaybe they should. Maybe they've got more urgent things to work on, like weaknesses that actually hold them back in life rather than producing fun-but-ultimately-unimportant information in your preferred format. Maybe they're doing this for fun, and don't want to turn every aspect of their life into a self-improvement slog.
- mruts 7y agoTrue, but learning how to write is pretty important in many aspects of life.

- arebours 7y agoI think it only makes it worse by adding a fear of not making it perfect on the first time.
- taejo 7y agoMaybe for you. Clearly not for foone, and not for me either. It's not that I have a fear of making something imperfect; it's that an unpublished blog post is an invitation to improve "just one more thing" before publishing... forever. Additionally, expectations are different on Twitter. You can also delete a single tweet that feels like a much easier decision (because smaller impact) than deleting a blogpost.
- stordoff 7y agoI know with my OCD, it's easier to send a single line/short message than write a post and sit there staring out at it whilst I overthink it (once I've sent it, it's not worth changing it), so this may be similar .
