Have I mentioned how much Twitter sucks? Sure, it's great for broadcasting, but actually having a discussion? No.

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me.
I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

But yes, G+'s comments system is far from ideal.
On a side note, it took me three - 3! - tweets earlier to reply to a simple request from someone on Twitter.
Ridiculous.
Maybe it takes time to get used to how things work on Twitter, but I find its conversational features quite useful, actually. You can click on individual replies & see where the conversation went from there in the thread view, right on the site (I don't use any social apps on my phone so I don't know what it looks like there).
I don't have longer & more meaningful conversations on any social media site anyway, and I always wonder why people are SO eager to bury conversations in some social networking site they have no control of.
If it's something meaningful that I have to say and want to preserve, then I post it to my website (or personal blog) anyway.
Mastodon's 500 character limit better suits my needs, though I still tend to run into it. I'll probably end up running my own Pleroma solo-instance with a much more increased limit, and federate that with Mastodon instead. :)
