This is why microblogging is garbage: it structurally only allows hot takes & shitposts.

The microblogging format is truly awful. I've seen professors and incredibly smart writers get into childish feuds with each other, because the format almost encourages it by rewarding dunks and gotchas.

Forcing people to try to communicate over text without paragraphs, or any way to make themselves more clear, is not a good system.
