A blog post requires an account with a blogging provider or a hosting provider though, so I wouldn't call it a lower barrier if you don't have it.

Besides that, the context matters here. This post is riding off of the attention that another Skyrim WTF bug got recently, which was posted on Twitter. Continuing the conversation there seems like the lowest barrier to entry to me, considering that the author already has a Twitter account and a following there, especially if you actually want to reach people that might find it interesting.

On Twitter you sometimes need an account just to read posts as well. That's the only reason I have one.

You can also link it.

Linking no longer works since for people who are logged out twitter has blocked being able to click on anything (ie unable to click on next message, thread, post, etc)

there's a lot of gaslighting of people because twitter is changing their ui. (ie oh no? you can't see it? must be something weird, it works for me. But in fact, twitter is the one changing the ui for difference classes of users so nothing really works consistently from one user to the next)
