For me, twitter is the least toxic and 'monstrous' of all social platforms that I've been on.
I'd say the trend of articles on news sites using hyperbole and inflammatory language in every other headline to bait people into clicking is a far more serious issue. People on twitter do as they please - journalists need a hard look in the mirror before throwing stones at entire platforms.
- LargeWu 9y agoFor me it's the most toxic. I quit before they expanded the character limit, but the limited format almost completely annihilates the ability to express nuance. Combine that with everybody else assuming bad faith, it just devolves into people screaming at each other, often even when they agree.
- coldacid 9y agoHaving the ability to build a whole thread of tweets now would go a long way towards providing the nuance that has so far been missing, but almost nobody even knows it's there, never mind uses it.
