Turn this into a thread

Most threads fail for one of two reasons. Either they are an article chopped into tweet-sized pieces, so no individual tweet is worth reading, or they are a small idea stretched to eleven tweets because the writer thought longer meant better.

A thread works when each tweet would be a decent post on its own, and the order makes it better.

When to Use

• Use when someone asks for a Twitter/X thread.
• Use when someone asks to break a long idea, transcript, article or rambling draft into tweets.
• Use when a piece of writing is too long for one post.
• Do not use it for LinkedIn, which has no threads, and do not pad a small idea into a long thread.

Step 1: decide whether it should be a thread at all
