Posting that here once more, because threaded conversations and character limits truly are ingenious.
Yeah, I'm sure it's painful to implement these edge cases, but I think people underestimate how powerful threaded conversations are. nostr:nevent1qqstrtc4l6kww4pm2tshxh33alw8qynnlzcxwzgkrfal0xm8g5fs94cpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsygrwg6zz9hahfftnsup23q3mnv5pdz46hpj4l2ktdpfu6rhpthhwjvpsgqqqqqqstw7hqn

Number of times on Twitter I’ve cut out waffle and hedging and maybes and possiblys and probablys &c. to meet the character limit and ended up with a better tweet because of it

What if Nostr does bigger notes well (so we can just skip the need for tools to turn threads into articles that are easier to read) & something like highlights will allow people to focus on or respond to specific points? Maybe we still need some minor incentive to be concise? 🤔 nostr:nevent1qqstrtc4l6kww4pm2tshxh33alw8qynnlzcxwzgkrfal0xm8g5fs94cpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsygrwg6zz9hahfftnsup23q3mnv5pdz46hpj4l2ktdpfu6rhpthhwjvpsgqqqqqqstw7hqn

Highlighting the specific passage and responding to it is superior to threads imo as you, as the person responding/reacting to something can specifically mark what you are responding to. I do agree with nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc that the character constraints tends to sharpen your thinking to be more precise.
the one obvious caveat is the reduction in nuance; I wonder if part of the polarization and strawmanning we've seen in the past decades is partly due to this constraint.
A tweet is not a thread, and a thread is not a blog post. Different medium. Different message. nostr:nevent1qqszsrem3j2lhseummmd6c9knnufy6atrutyzfaexzpdrd8swd9ad3qpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsygrwg6zz9hahfftnsup23q3mnv5pdz46hpj4l2ktdpfu6rhpthhwjvpsgqqqqqqsu6r82w
I wouldn't say it's superior in general. Threads are different from highlights. There is a reason why they evolved, and I'd say it's not purely because of limitation. I like to think of them as paragraphs. And when sharing media, it's almost like a slideshow. Threads are useful imho and different from blog posts. It goes without saying that I'm a fan of highlighter (understatement of the century). In case one of the onlookers doesn't know, I wrote this blog post a while ago: https://dergigi.com/2023/04/04/purple-text-orange-highlights/
