Yes, long form Twitter is THE WORST. However foone is awesome, so maybe they cancel each other out?

At the very least if the link is a threadapp, it's kinda fine. The issue is when the twitter UI stops showing half the thread and you have to keep clicking. I don't mind the bite sized sections personally.

Nitter [0] makes twitter tolerable. I never browse Twitter directly, I find the UI atrocious, and most tweets self-aggrandize or worthless.

There are some gems occasionally, like OP (Duke Nukem 3d was awesome).

There are extensions to redirect from twitter to nitter sites [1]. For example, the main site is not very responsive right now, but the alternative instances [2] are very responsive.
