I got it now. Yes, Twitter is a walled garden, even if it has large windows to see most of things, there is definitely a wall there. The tricky part is that if this was published in a static html page it would be less likely that it would reach us (even if the page was linked in the thread). Distribution is hard. A good compromise I think is keeping the thread but having a link to a blogpost with the same content in the first (or second) tweet. A Twitter thread formatting tool that also publishes a web version and automatically link to it in the second tweet is a good micro Saas idea if anyone is looking I think.

Twitter could have exactly the same terms of service, but still serve a single, static, small, html page that would load instantly on all devices. But instead, they choose to serve a bloated mess that does not work in many browsers, and is slow everywhere. Just to display a few lines of text.
