Do you like the UX of long tweets in the X / Twitter mobile app? If yes, why? If no, why not?

i can tell you with certainty (data) that long tweets get A LOT more engagement than threads these days, and that when a thread does get engagement it's only the first post in the thread usually that gets any action

I prefer threads because I know theyโ€™re a thread before I start reading. When I expand the tweet and get bombarded with an essay it throws me off. I ainโ€™t reading allat

I like the writing experience, but you lose that per-chunk like/reply split points which are also kinda special in their own way.

Threads tend to get me to read. Feels more consumable. Long form tweets make me bail often.

compared to one short tweet, it's not good at all. compared to a thread, it's a tradeoff of scrolling for extra clicks. worst UX is thread of long tweets with extra clicks.

Yes, because itโ€™s really nice not to have to read threaded tweets.

If thereโ€™s just one long tweet itโ€™s ok, when itโ€™s a convo or thread of multiple long tweets the UX is awful because I have to click every tweet to read it

Hard agree w @samantha Depends on style of writing also but threads with smaller bite-sized tweets are a lot easier to consume than reading a long essay in a single tweet. I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve ever read a single long essay tweet on X with 100% of my attention, but Iโ€™ve read a LOT of well-knitted threads.

It's awful. I've actually only read like one super long tweet because I just can't, the formatting is so bad, It's hard to keep track visually

No. Constraint is source of innovation. Hard constraints on # of chars: * incentivizes to go to the essential. * incentivizes iterative story developments, live. * allows readers to highlight the pieces they โค๏ธ, the ones they ๐Ÿ”„, and others. * allows wild drifts creating semantic trees easier to follow.

I definitely prefer threads, feels a lot more organised and digestible with every post representing e.g. a different topic
