People like to complain about X's (née Twitter) format, but isn't it possible that X is a good medium _because_ of the restrictions put on the format? Each paragraph needs to make a salient point in 280 characters or less. Personally, I like the direct prose that results from this restriction.

No, I’ve seen paragraphs and even single sentences split across multiple posts.

It’s literally just bad UI.

I think they're referring to the aggressive rate-limiting that prevents people from reading tweets/threads without an account.
