Is there a reason someone can't just ramble in a blog post?

ADHD. If I have a long-form blog post to write end, I get caught up in going back and rephrasing and re-editing and such, and it never gets finished.

Twitter's paragraph-size chunks with minimal editing (if I really have to, I can delete the last post and re-create it) means that I can't get stuck in the process of editing and revising, so I have to keep moving forward.

So it's really the only way I can write. My wife's gone through and rewritten some twitter threads into a blogpost for me, but she hasn't gotten to this one yet.

BTW, You can also use a threadreader/unroller to make a pseudo-blog-post out of it.

You produce some of the most interesting threads I've read on Twitter. Thanks for sharing as much as you do.

Out of curiosity, why not mastodon? Do you see a path from Twitter to a federated or decentralized service?

because... he/she doesn't WANT to?
