tuhat: Finnish for one thousand is a platform for long-form writing. No threads, no microblogging, no hot takes. Originally posts had to be at least 1,000 words to be posted, although as new languages were added and use cases considered that was eventually dropped. Even still, tuhat remains a home for considered writing, regardless of ultimate length.
