How is this different than me quoting only bits of a blog post? You can say that you can just reply with the whole quote , but I can just easily quote tweet reply the tweet that gives context. I feel fact the quote tweet is even guaranteed to be unedited and linked to the rest of the conversation.
- joshvince 4y agoThe difference is that a blog post is presented as a whole, in long form. The author can construct context to have a debate informed by things harder to put into an individual tweet. Long form communication is where nuance lives. Twitter actively seeks to reduce and diminish that because any single tweet has to summarise its ideas in a single character-limited block. I personally think it’s a net negative for the world
- joshvince 4y agoIronically we have had this discussion in tweet sized chunks. Guess I’m a hypocrite, eh.
