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.

> Twitter literally limits the length of your tweets.

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

> The rest of the world seems to use Twitter

I truly don’t think so. The vast majority of people I know in Europe and Asia use Facebook, not Twitter. Only my USA acquaintances use Twitter all the time.

I think they meant the following of journalists during troubled times

I prefer Twitter personally, but in Poland it's also FB where everyone is, + Messenger and FB groups.

Twitter is only really used by journalists and politicians in Poland.

Agreed. From my observations of Polish Twitter and FB, tweet screenshots shared on Facebook generate more engagement than the original tweets.

I am curious about how you substantiate your claim about the rest of the world. In Vietnam, Twitter is blocked and Facebook is super popular.

Japan uses it.
