   @amodm Liked the bit on brevity v/s terse vacuous truisms. That stuff is truly insufferable. 😀

   But I think the culprit is something else, not short-form per se. The medium pushes everyone to try to be an influencer of some kind rather than genuinely ask questions or express opinions. Twitter being personality-centric is a big part of it.

   Mastodon has similar issues. And it has another problem of monoculture of ideas. Still, 500 chars allow for much more nuance than on Twitter.

     @nilesh @amodm “my distaste for nuance-less formulaic tweets is a lot higher than the inefficiency of superfluousness.” +1
