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.
I would argue that a brief, broadly encompassing feed has its advantages when it’s not being driven into lunacy. Discussions on Twitter are always terrible, but as a source for news headlines and media announcements it works pretty well.

Sure, but you can get that with someone more long-form, too; it’s not exclusive to Twitter.

Conversely, if someone wants a summarized feed, having to browse past walls of text is an inconvenience.
