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

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. :)
