It's a micro web-logging platform.

  That's what makes it so terrible for long form threads. I use Threadreaderapp but it's not ideal. Long heavily fragmented threads like this are literally headache inducing.

I hate twitter. It's slowly ruining the internet.

  I'm just sad that once Twitter inevitably disappears in few years, all this cool content like this will be lost. I can still find and read HTML 1.0 pages from 25 years ago, but good luck ever finding this random Twitter thread unless somone specifically puts in the effort of preserving it.

    Twitter and Facebook have continued to exist well beyond the lifetime I would have expected for either platform. On the other hand I’m equally surprised by the number of weird little websites that just fail to die.

Yes, long form Twitter is THE WORST. However foone is awesome, so maybe they cancel each other out?

  At the very least if the link is a threadapp, it's kinda fine. The issue is when the twitter UI stops showing half the thread and you have to keep clicking. I don't mind the bite sized sections personally.

    Nitter [0] makes twitter tolerable. I never browse Twitter directly, I find the UI atrocious, and most tweets self-aggrandize or worthless. There are some gems occasionally, like OP (Duke Nukem 3d was awesome). There are extensions to redirect from twitter to nitter sites [1]. For example, the main site is not very responsive right now, but the alternative instances [2] are very responsive.

Do you think it's working? Looks annoyed to me.

I find it ironic that further down foone runs into the limitations of twitter as a platform and app and complains about it.
