Twitter literally limits the length of your tweets. What can you say in a couple of phrases in the context of activism and politics? Just link another platform? Don't get me started on twitter threads, this is abomination. My patience usually runs out after the third tweet in a thread.

Another day Twitter CEO resigned and he posted a screenshot of his mail. Why couldn't he post it in a proper text format so people can reflow text and read it on different screens? Because Twitter sucks.

This is why we get those god-awful "this tweet thread should've been a link to a blogpost" monstrosities =)


I despise each and every "@threadreaderapp unroll" tweet. People want to use Twitter as a blogging platform and Twitter itself doesn't want to be a blogging platform.


Great point about his resignation email!


>My patience

Well, that's you. People are different. For some people it is easier to read a thread than a blog post that might be poorly formatted too.


> Twitter literally limits the length of your tweets

That's what you have screenshots for ... duh


an accessibility nightmare of their own making


I'm not joking, though
