I am one of those loonie cave dwellers who want nothing to do with Twitter. I find it to be a horrible UX in almost all ways. The limit of how many characters you can type in a message nearly guarantees clickbait, sensationalism, and idiocy. Getting around this most fundamental part of Twitter, with "threads", is a painful experience for the reader. (In my opinion). If Twitter included proper support for it, it would be better. Each post on a thread would appear directly after each other and stripped of unnecessary repeated parts. Except now you have basically changed the main idea of Twitter and allow longer posts. I like posting things on my blog. I know I have only 3 readers, one of whom I pay but you get a chance to build content in your own silo and can be as long winded as you feel like. I would have no interest in HN if it was not for the thoughtful and high-quality long form discourse it has. If a story is a link to Twitter I just click right onto the discussion. I guess my blog is a barren wasteland and I might pull in 1 reader from Twitter It is a horrible UX that makes it close to impossible to convey a story. (Unless its "This is my headline" click here
