Yeah, I don't know why people keep posting this stuff there. It's completely unsuitable to it. It wasn't great for it before, but it's completely terrible for it now. Post this sort of stuff either on a blog or on some Fediverse thing that doesn't try to own your content and keep people from reading it.

Because the platforms design is irrelevant - people go where people are, where the content is. Twitter could be irc beneath for all the world cares.
