Screenshots of text are inaccessible to assistive technologies without alt text. Twitter's alt text limit is 1000 characters.

But, again, if you're also annoyed that social story telling IRL happens with interruptions and digressions and background noise (and perhaps even four to six drinks!) then you are really asking for something other than what it is.

Really, this pub/Twitter comparison doesn't work. Yes, interruptions happen IRL, but they aren't systematically happening every other sentence. Also, you can use body language or talk louder to ensure you're understood IRL. Internet communication doesn't have the same luxury.

Disruption while consuming information in the browser is a different animal compared to person-to-person contact.

No, you usually have to go see Shakespeare for that.
