Well, arguably the microblogging format does have some intrinsic disadvantages.

Yes, but that wasn’t the question, now was it?

I would argue that the format incentives short quips and discussions lacking nuance in favor of brevity, and yes, therefore it’s “bad” (to use their term) to use Twitter even if musk wasn’t turning it into Truth Social.
