I tend to agree. I simply don't like the short form content. I never did. When twitter launched, I didn't understand it, and I still don't. It doesn't facilitate conversation whatsoever. It's just shitposting and one-liners and toxicity. We really lost something special when we moved from forums to shorter and shorter content platforms.

I think the worst aspect is being able to take someones very short post and then put your own post above it and boost it out to your followers. It leads to context being stripped and an influencer induced dogpile.
