It’s a free world and whatnot, but Twitter is a poor medium for these kinds of stories. It took me at least twice as long due to scrolling, squinting, etc.
That’s cool that lots of people like tweetstorms, I don’t. That’s cool that there are different people in the world with different preferences.
Expecting me not to comment on something that is novel to me and seemingly pretty annoying and easy to fix (use a better tool) is something that would make me frustrated if I tried to apply that to others.
Imagine if I stubbed my toe. Imaging if someone said “lots of people don’t stub their toes, your complaint bores me” when I said “Dammit.”
In their words, if they had to blog, they wouldn't publish anything; this is where it's on us to adapt, or move onto other content if you really can't stand Twitter.
If course, it’s pretty much impossible to literally know this, as how in the world do you know what people have tried or what they are capable of. As someone who once worked in tech support, I learned not to believe people who say “I tried everything and I have a unique need that I can’t explain to you.” Only to learn they didn’t try everything and their computer is not plugged in.
There are a few steps I need to know about between “ADHD; ???; therefore Twitter” before I understand.
I think this is an opportunity to help the author learn about new advances in microblogging that will reduce the number of people who ignore or don’t understand the content. I think it’s possible for the author to adapt, rather than requiring thousands of people to adapt on their own. That’s inefficient.

And a bookmarklet:
I used to find Twitter threads difficult to follow, but you know, if you work at it, if you spend time reading them, it's not as big a deal.
I'm sure people raised a big stink when moving from scrolls to books, that turning pages was asking too much.
Also there's a great tool made to settle this endless dispute : https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1135354815259656192.html
But seeing how chronically and rudely the guy cries about this issue, without even looking for the halfway compromise, he just looks like a jerk to me. And I'm not impressed enough by the content to get over it in the future.
Foone disagrees. You know better than him how his brain works?
This is a cool topic and OP put some effort into a cool investigation. But half way through I gave up because twitter kept bugging me to open an app and adjust some setting. It also used 25% of the screen showing framing info.
This is, again, a subjective opinion. You are free to improve the readability of his content on your own using all the tools that are available. Given Foone's audience, he's doing well enough and people enjoy consuming his content as he decides to publish it.
Your authoritarian stance here is really condescending and odd.
ADHD is one disorder; the need to actively tell people you're not reading something and why is another. ADHD is less anti-social.
