Arguments happen on twitter because you have lots of different communities that frequently accidentally collide. It's fascinating. Basically as it turns out communities on the internet work calmly when they're homogenous - this is the beauty of reddit. When communities interact you get chaos, because suddenly you're confronted with thousands of people you disagree with. On reddit that's called brigading and can get you banned, but on twitter it's built into the platform. The result is that on reddit you get isolated communities - some of which are thoroughly toxic and churn out some of the worst of humanity. Twitter doesn't create that isolated groupthink environment but instead it is just a constant warfare between communities. What I don't understand thouhg, is why twitter thinks its a good idea to give away the one thing that makes their platform differentiated.
