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

    Makes sense, albeit the second part about the bad site experiences is sort of the flipside of what inspired this question.

    If the initial content experience is awkwardly formatted, but there’s a better formatted version one could go to, would one still want to experience it in the same place forcing awkward formatting? That’s not poking at you specifically btw, moreso wondering aloud.

      If the experience of visiting other sites wasn’t so bad, I would happily visit more links. I really like reading articles and long form content. If the contest was purely long form vs short form (or very fragmented long form), long form wins.

      I might be the wrong audience though because Twitter and Mastodon never really appealed to me all that much.
