Is this real??

I can't imagine it's hard to scroll past 600 posts in a day if you use twitter a lot.

So, once you're done your 600 posts, you'll go somewhere else where you can scroll endlessly, then slowly find yourself more and more going to that somewhere else instead of twitter. Elon twitler Musk is an idiot.

I never really used twitter, but if I used it like i use ANY other social media site, yeah. I would fill that up in like an hour..... and I use these sites all day long...

Oh, absolutely. It seriously discourages any kind of conversation, because no one will want to read through the replies and waste their content limit.

All attention will be skewed from heavily favoring big accounts to catering ONLY to big accounts, who may see a drop off in fan interaction for the same reason. People respond to celebrity accounts to gush and ask venue/content questions and such. This is the death knell to any of those questions ever being seen.

For myself, I used to follow a TON of microflashfic accounts, which by self-imposed rules are short, concise stories told in 140 characters or less. A bit like r/twosentencehorror but they tended to feel a lot more impactful.

I loved and miss them, and I consider it a lost art that I wish I could bring at least to mastodon. But because they fit in less than a single tweet by necessity, I could easily read through a hundred in 20 minutes if I just went through the tag.
