It’s a lesser end result than blocking someone. I’m not obligated to platform your opinion on my post.
- RNCTX 6y agoSee that's the thing, it's not your post. It's all public. Twitter does not have private posts like Facebook does, nor does this change purport to make such a thing. Its design is specifically to allow people to amplify their own personal echo chamber, and pre-silence disagreement. The UI designer (hired from Facebook) who created the tool defended it with the notion that people should "want to watch people they admire have conversations" (his words). That's not social interaction, that's television. A one way communication medium in which the screen tells the observer what to think.
