I am one of those loonie cave dwellers who want nothing
to do with Twitter.
I find it to be a horrible UX in almost all ways.
The limit of how many characters you can type in a message
nearly guarantees clickbait, sensationalism, and idiocy.
Getting around this most fundamental part of Twitter,
with "threads", is a painful experience for the reader.
(In my opinion).
If Twitter included proper support for it, it would be better. Each post on a thread would appear directly after each other and stripped of unnecessary repeated parts.
Except now you have basically changed the main idea of Twitter and allow longer posts.
I like posting things on my blog.
I know I have only 3 readers, one of whom I pay
but you get a chance to build content in your own silo
and can be as long winded as you feel like.
I would have no interest in HN if it was not for the
thoughtful and high-quality long form discourse it has.
If a story is a link to Twitter I just click right onto
the discussion.
I guess my blog is a barren wasteland and I might pull
in 1 reader from Twitter
It is a horrible UX that makes it close to impossible
to convey a story. (Unless its "This is my headline" click here
