I agree with the sentiment of the title but this is a terrible article that doesn't go into any depth and adds nothing to the conversation.
> The decline of Twitter
What evidence is there that Twitter is declining? If anything it seems Twitter usage has increased under Musk.
> (I swear, if I see anyone tweeting out 4,000 characters, that is an immediate block)
How can someone talk about the need to bring back long-form content while simultaneously saying they'd block someone who writes long-form content? Doesn't make any sense to me. I've always thought the Twitter character limit was stupid as it eliminates the ability to write long form content on Twitter, and I'm happy Musk is finally going to eliminate this artificial restriction.
There will always be a place for blogging, but the problem with it is lack of discoverability and conversation (sure you can add a comments section, but most people won't take the time to register for an account on your site just to write a comment on your blog post). Ultimately people write to get read, and social media gets more eyeballs.
I don't think blogging will ever be more than a niche thing due to this lack of discoverability. Solve the discoverability aspect, and you've basically reinvented web 2.0 social media
