Replying to Avatar stick

Quite often, the following scenario would occur (I know because I've been guilty of doing the same):

You start to write an eloquent response explaining why the tweet you're reacting to is wrong, but suddenly you hit the character limit. You spend a few minutes trying to rephrase your thoughts to fit within the limit, but now your message doesn't make any sense. Frustrated, you delete everything and just post "You are wrong" or "Screw you" instead.

Do you have any indication that factors other than the character limit might be responsible for the poor quality of discussions on Twitter?

I don't think using Twitter for deep discussions is a good idea. The platform is built for short messages only. Reddit (or whatever online forum) is better for this purpose.

True, but it that is the case, then what is it for? If people are meant to have fleeting “discussions”, it’s basically an hodgepodge of incoherent screaming matches with no real content.
