Perhaps if they weren't on twitter.com. The site is impossible to use if you're not signed in, especially on mobile. This is probably 85% of the problem, IMO.

Yeah, except not too long and not on Medium, either... haha. I like the idea of the constraints of a tweet and that a tweet thread (like a powerpoint) forces an economy of words. The tweet threads on HN are usually from high quality writers, so it's not actually that terrible to read them. But you're still stuck in the same "cognitive style" as powerpoint.
Maybe I'm simply old and my belief that "microblogging is an oxymoron" is wrong.
