I wrote my long Japan thread here, but it was tricky to create – and I heard hard to read, too. As promised, I wrote down some thoughts for the Twitter team: https://medium.com/@mwichary/notes-after-writing-a-long-participatory-thread-on-twitter-b6f1f302da8c … – but anyone can read and add to it. Twitter @design, can you put this into the right hands?

Marcin, nice writeup. As a sometimes long-thread author, I'll mention Moments as an alternative. They seem more flexible, but they also seem to have a silent 100 tweet limit. If you exceed it, a random(?) other tweet gets removed. This is nearly fatal.

Thanks! I might try it. My perception of Moments so far that it’s monologue, rather than thread (possibly) being a conversation. Moments is what you do to something to ossify it/preserve it – like a case around an artifact in the museum – *after* it’s ready.

Yes, there are several tradeoffs. I prefer to think of Moments as allowing curation of tweets. You can include others' tweets so it's not strictly a monologue. But you have to add them manually.

Yeah, good points about curation. I guess I meant “monologue” in the sense of “does not invite a conversation.”
