There's a loud vocal minority that hates threads, & this appeases that faction a lot. But jeeze it's just so excellent having digestible individual nuggets, having interaction divided finely (rather than a big long post being upvoted or commented on, you see fine grained interaction patterns).
This is another really huge destruction of value (like deleting dead/inactive people's stuff from existence[1], imo. The constraint greatly helped things, and threads for 95% of people work great & help.
What a sad pointless stupid waste, turning something special into something dumb/mundane/regular. More steps back.
I'm not sure this is a good idea, but I'm curious to see how it'll be implemented. Up until now, Twitter's differentiating factor has been the amount of information conveyed by Tweets, with as few words as possible. This is how information quickly travels from person to person.
I wonder how that will change the dynamics of the website.
