The "one size fits all" approach to Twitter can't make everyone happy, maybe not even most people. Reddit really took off when they introduced subreddits so that there could be different interests, different rules, and different moderation. So now the shameless plug: we built Bettr.social from the ground up to support groups for just this very reason. Users want the option of joining and/or creating their own groups that have control over content and behavior. It's sort of like a "Twitter with groups". You can also follow hashtags so you can follow topics, and not get someone's personal political views mixed in with their sports analysis or whatever. Not sure why Twitter has never allowed following hashtags. Weibo does. Dorsey also mentioned the "Like." Facebook did well adding more reactions that just "like." People may like a post for different reasons, and people may react to a post in other ways than a "like." If there's no other reaction available, then they'll write something, often something nasty, and then the discussion can continue to go nasty and perpetuate. At Bettr.social we have several reactions like skeptical, troll, wow, and others (even Fake News). We think this helps reduce the snide remarks and drive-by one-time insults. I don't think Twitter has innovated much in user experience in the past several years. They've change algorithms, and AI detection of abuse, but the features haven't really changed in awhile. And although not all change is good, it seems like there should have been some changes for the better in the UX.
