What’s social about a bunch of strangers screaming profanities at each other? It should really be called angry mob media, if anything. I see your point of course, but I’m not really worried about creating echo chambers by giving users more ownership over their own conversations. If you started screaming at me in the real world, I’d walk away and probably never talk to you again. That’s an echo chamber, but it’s relatively harmless, and I think the same thing would apply to almost all of social media. I’m sure political tweeters would be terrible at it, but would it really change anything? Right now thousands of people are trolling each other in Donald Trumps twitter feed, but do you think they make a difference? I don’t, in fact I don’t think anyone has ever really been pursauded of anything in a political twitter comment section. Mean while, the rest of us are taken hostage by the angry mob and a lack of control of what ought to be our content.
