Being a &quot;read-only&quot; Twitter user, I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s about the technical difficulty of posting to Twitter (definitely if you&#x27;re posting to Hacker News, you&#x27;re not going to have problems knowing <i>how</i> to post to Twitter), but rather, the futility of it.<p>Twitter, to me at least, seems like a platform for relatively influential people &#x2F; people who have a pretty unique insight on something happening real-time to post. If I post on Twitter, I get maybe a few likes and retweets, and nothing else. On facebook, or reddit, or even here, I&#x27;m far more likely to feel like a part of a conversation rather than a lone voice yelling into a sea of a million people.
