everything moves so fast that it's difficult to have a follow up conversation on anything you post because people can't find the initial thought
The speed also discourages you from taking time to think before you reply. "Am I being rude? Am I understanding OP's points correctly? Am I making my point clearly?" All of those considerations go out the window because if you don't reply immediately, your reply might not get read, or you might not be able to find the conversation again later, or you might look like a creepy stalker for interacting with an old post.
I love Twitter, but for livetweeting, not meta. Tumblr is sort of okay for meta, but I hate when the point I agree with is a reblog of something I vehemently disagree with, or even don't fully agree with -- I don't like having to give more visibility to the part I disagree with/the part that's wrong in order to spread the part I think is worthwhile.
