Twitter Is Optimized for Douchebaggery

- duxup 8y agoThe point about how the medium of Twitter shapes the message rings true to me. Everything is so short it seem largely trite and careless. They system is built for score keeping and it feels like people post just to score even if that isn't their intent. Responses don't seem like they for the person they're talking to, rather for everyone else who might see. Even the most thoughtful ideas seem soulless and reduced to only the simplest elements. A statement that someone is a terrible person rings out loud, any nuance or deeper concepts seem awkward and weird.
