I'll read long posts in either format, but the fragmented format of chained microblog posts, or threads, is mildly distracting at times.

If you have a lot to say, Xitter isn’t the right place for that. If this limitation results in chain posting, you’re using the wrong tool for the job. Many Mastodon instances have a higher limit, so maybe these people should be on Mastodon instead. If you have ever more to say, then maybe Lemmy could be the right place for that sort of text. Or maybe start a blog…

Anyway, some people have lots of followers on Xitter, and they’re kinda stuck there. If you want to write to your followers, that’s the place where have to do it. Since that place has ridiculous limitations, it naturally results in chain posting. It’s a symptom of the platform not being flexible enough for the need that people actually have.
