So I guess I'll have to retweet things now to bookmark them. It'd be nice if Twitter could reconcile it's shitty RSS replacement and crazy-drunken-uncle-shouting-into-the-void halves into something coherent.
There’s actually a “bookmark this tweet” option under the more options menu for the tweet.
How can debate on Twitter be good when they limit the length of the arguments that you can make to two or three sentences?
Unnecessarily simple arguments -> People get upset because you're misrepresenting them -> essentially screaming at each other instead of discussing.
The fundamental nature of the platform is bad. It's basically arguing in clickbait form.

I don't have this option on tweetdeck, only a add to collections, gives me a popup with no content. Nice.

Agreed. Discussion and debate should be more than hot takes.. That said, most people won't read a wall-of-text from a stranger - HN being the exception ;-)
Reddit can be quite good for that too.

And I have seen many insightful discussions on Twitter. Not everything has to page long retorts.
is that all twitter is now? a debate site? Starring items has been a stample of both bookmarking content, as well as showing appreciation for anything on the platform. But as well as when they started merging liked posts into the content feed on the main apps, it did remove the critical thing if it being an option for feedback to a post, without sharing the content to your own timeline (a retweet). I don't understand…
Either people like your stuff and want to share it, or they don't.
Quote-retweet is used to send followers to harass the person responsible for the awful tweet. RT is choir-preaching (you're a monster if you don't RT that kicking babies is bad), and replies to twitter-celebrities' tweets give everyone their 15 minutes of fame to post the most idiotic meme.
And the only time when someone tries to make a coherent argument, it's a "Tread (1/50)" with a total mess, and every single sentence has buttons for taking it out of context.
They've optimized for engagement, and they're getting a lot of enragement.
