Maybe I just don't get Twitter. Every time I look at a thread it starts with some coherent conversation, but then devolves into a bunch of tangents that don't coherently follow each other.

HN and similar seem much better suited.

Makes a lot of sense when you acknowledge that we like the dopamine release of arguing. Twitter consolidates an argument into just the parts you mean and read anyways. But you'll just find long form of the same exact thing on message boards and Reddit.
