Which is strange because I see more targeted rage here on a VC forum.
The Twitter page I've cultivated has low/no rage and even interesting conversations. Sure, if I venture to gender, race, or politics, Ill be greeted by the rage machine. So volitionally choose to stay out of it.
Cultivate who you follow to a narrow tech field, and be very careful that whom you choose doesn't invest in hate and rage mechanics.
Facebook, for me, is the rage machine every few posts interspersed with cat/dog pics.
- rchaud 8y agoAhh, but you have discovered the crux of the problem Twitter faces. I have done as you did, culling my Twitter to only include interesting people in my industry who I can learn from. What happened? My Twitter use dropped off a cliff. The people I follow write interesting articles or give good talks, but are incredibly boring on Twitter, or retweet stuff that once more puts me face to face with the 'regular Twitter' dumpster fire. "Microblogging" works for traffic or service updates, and commercials. Its use case narrows to almost nothing when it comes to human interactions, which require more substance than what a <textarea maxlength='280'> provides.
