> a) it is transitory and people won't tend to remember it and harangue you about it years later I think this is a feature and not a bug. I don’t want to see a carefully curated representation of the past. There are plenty of other social networks for you if that is what you want. Or you could contribute anonymously if you want to say something transitory. > people who don't like what you're saying only have a limited ability to harass you. I think that’s true on Twitter as well for the most part. What Twitter does that is different is it still allows the people you don’t like to participate in the general conversation. Certain groups hate this and want to deny other groups the right to speak. > surely we deserve better tools to prevent ourselves being harassed. I think the problem is people want to benefit from the upside of having a public conversation but still want to carefully control it and I don’t think that’s healthy for society. Again, if you are happy to forego the upside you can always contribute anonymously. > Yes, those tools will be abused in some cases; but all tools can be abused Exactly - Twitter is a great example.
