What exactly is it meant for then if not serious discussion?

You mean the one sided discussions? Also not every thought is worthy of a blog post, but is worthy of being put out there.

Geopolitics isn't the only thing longer convos are for... The problem with pre-Musk/4000 char limit Twitter is that nuances are heavily lost because of the lack of characters and that nobody wants to do thread storms.

Ironic.

All other types of discussion. Promoting serious discussion elsewhere.

That's a byproduct of a lack of characters, not the reason it was created.

Well it was created so we could all tell everyone what we were having for lunch. It took a few years before someone tried having anything resembling serious discussion.
