That's the entire point. Different UI's can radically change perception!
Facebook could have merged those four messages. Some UIs do that. In Slack there is no different in sending 1 message on 4 lines or 4 messages each 1 line each. The observable result is identical.
But Facebook didn't do that. So the perception was one thing. A different UI and it'd be perceived differently. Just like the author was trying to say!
- morgante 11y agoThe problem is that the author didn't give the same input to all 3 UIs. On Facebook, she sent each paragraph as a new message but the "control" was presented as a single message. Email clients also don't merge multiple messages sent in rapid succession. Does that mean they're "twisting your words?"
- JW_00000 11y agoI'd argue the input was the same in the three cases: "Hey! Press enter What a show last night! Pretty sure my ears will be ringing for the next week. lol enter [etc.]" The way the UI handled those "enters" made all the difference.
