@Green_Footballs twitter is a microblogging platform.

so we literally went from blogging to microblogging because people are just too lazy to type paragraphs worth of posts.

@jellyosaurus @Green_Footballs Microblogging is okay when the ideas are actually micro (e.g., shitposting). The problem is that people will be like "in this essay I will... (45 post thread later)" and never once stopped to think "Hm, maybe this would be better as a long form item."
