To me it feels easier to participate in discussions on Twitter than on (e.g.) the EA Forum, even though you’re allowed to post a forum comment with fewer than 280 characters. This makes me a little worried that people feel intimidated about offering “quick takes” here because most comments are pretty long. I think people should feel free to offer feedback more detailed than an upvote/downvote without investing a lot of time in a long comment.
Agreed, and I support EA Forum norms of valuing quick takes in both posts and comments. Personally, the perceived bar to contributing feels way too high.
I agree! I set aside a big chunk of my recent EAGx presentation about posting on the Forum to discussing Shortform posts, which exist largely to encourage brief content/”quick takes”.
