    Why do people post things like this in twitter? Why can’t they write it up in a single blog post on a site that does not require users to authenticate to view the whole thread? I have never understood these long twitter threads.

    Edit: I just remembered that there is a solution for this: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2113014142600953868.html but it’s still ridiculous that an app needs to exist to aggregate dispirate tweets, and of course it doesn’t work with the parent tweets because they’re not all one thread. Also this app quit working during the twitter API debacle, which is why I forgot about it, but it looks like it’s back.

      It’s entirely the wrong format for it. Same as using Discord in place of old text forums. I will rant for HOURS to anyone who will listen about how Discord is an apocalypse and has completely wiped any documentation off the face of the internet for soooo many projects. It’s not searchable or indexed, and even if they make a good discord forum it’s like writing questions and answers on toilet paper and wiping your ass with it after 30 minutes. Moderators and admins constantly complain about people not reading the FAQ or asking the same questions over and over… I WONDER WHY THAT IS. HMMM? MIGHT IT BE BECAUSE NOBODY CAN SEARCH ANYTHING AND YOUR FAQ IS GARBAGE!!! MAYBE ASKING QUESTIONS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET A FUCKING ANSWER!!! (MAYBE. IF YOU’RE LUCKY AND SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE ANSWER SEES YOUR QUESTIONS LIVE AT THAT MOMENT AND RESPONDS)
