Twitter was ahead of its time and tried build a messaging protocol on a doomed stack (ror). Then they nuked the third party apps they didn't already buy and the list goes on. I sometimes wonder how history would be different if they deleted Trump's account for trolling while they still had a chance.
I still think a new twitter like service could still be relevant minus the baggage of what twitter has become. They could solve a lot of their issues by quarantining trolls including Trump into a different sub domain.
The biggest problem with most social networks is that once celebrities flock to your service they tend to dominate all discourse and you end up with a dichotomy of leaders and followers.
Facebook somehow manages to still keep trolls from dominating dialogue though it can be suffocating and reddit manages to counter the trolls with quality subreddits for people fed up with trolls.
