I think the thing about Twitter that's hardest for other places to reproduce is that it's one of the few places people can learn from in-group conversation from groups they're not a member of.
I mean, that feature is also responsible for some of Twitter's most hilarious conflicts stemming from overstepping/misunderstanding/lack of context. And one million deleted listicles that label Black culture "Twitter Memes". But when it works it's good!

I’m going to make the mistake of trying to have a complicated thought on Twitter, so first let me be clear that I don’t think anyone at all should be able to order a 100 round magazine off the internet, and also
that I absolutely think the Dayton shooter’s history
