That requires a presumption of intent I'm not interested in making, & I'll tell you why: I *often* quote-tweet "semi-viral threads", & occasionally use "🧵 " to save chars. & I see a lot of people I follow do that, too. None of the people I'm thinking about give a crap about "numbers" beyond our mutuals, we just care that the thread gave us an idea, or are treating Twitter like a bulletin board on which we leave notices for our friends to comment.

@FeralRobots@mastodon.social @joannekelly@mastodon.ie @hildabast@mastodon.online Of course it's Not All 🧵Quote Tweeters, but enough to notice a persona that can be mocked.

@FeralRobots@mastodon.social @Mabande@mastodon.social @hildabast@mastodon.online Obviously calling them bad people is hyperbole for the purpose of humour, but it is the thing about News Twitter that I miss the least. Just hit the retweet button, friends.
