ADHD. If I have a long-form blog post to write end, I get caught up in going back and rephrasing and re-editing and such, and it never gets finished.
Twitter's paragraph-size chunks with minimal editing (if I really have to, I can delete the last post and re-create it) means that I can't get stuck in the process of editing and revising, so I have to keep moving forward.
So it's really the only way I can write. My wife's gone through and rewritten some twitter threads into a blogpost for me, but she hasn't gotten to this one yet.
BTW, You can also use a threadreader/unroller to make a pseudo-blog-post out of it.
- QualityReboot 7y agoYou produce some of the most interesting threads I've read on Twitter. Thanks for sharing as much as you do. Out of curiosity, why not mastodon? Do you see a path from Twitter to a federated or decentralized service?
- mantoto 7y agoAre you sure that you are not justaddicted to Twitter? Constantly reading tweets and writing small sniootes of text? And as a result you use adhs as an excuse to that behavior? And because you live in this Twitter world you just don't bother at all and don't care about a proper textpresentaiten?
