Twitter threads are something that people have been doing since forever and it's crazy to me that the platform in all these years has not made it simpler to make them or easier to navigate them.
It's one of the few cases where a platform knows with absolute certainty that its userbase is expressing a certain behavior but they do nothing to encourage it.
- theshrike79 2y agoAs with all services, it comes down to "engagement". If there's a single long post, people only argue under that post. But if your long idea is split into 10-20 tweets, you can have a different argument under every tweet, and every tweet under that can again have another thread of arguments. Resulting in: engagement. Twitter is not, and has never been, a platform for discussion. It's either for shouting your stuff into the universe or arguing.
