Add a down vote button so people can down vote the trolls. You'd see an enormous uptake in regular people using the service if every reply wasn't some random insult with a picture attachment of something disgusting.
Twitter is easily the most negative place on the internet, and that's including madness like the Something Awful forums or 4chan. A downvote option would hopefully push the constant arguments out of sight too.
- ruipgil 10y agoYou can't fight negativity with negativity. Let the good and positive boil to the top. Anyway, that would certainly not save twitter. They seem to be lacking better management and focus on their core product.
- acdha 10y ago> You can't fight negativity with negativity. Let the good and positive boil to the top. How does that work? Someone organizes a hate mob and you're getting tons of horrible messages. How do you “let the good and positive boil to the top”? That's a huge problem for Twitter because every time someone, usually a woman, is harassed off of the service, other people notice and adjust their actions accordingly whether that is switching to a system, reducing what they post, making their account private, etc. — all of which cuts into the engagement they need to keep the service growing.
