Thanks for your thoughts, Twitter is a melting pot, and that's a fantastic thing. I would probably agree that fundamental social problems can't be "fixed" by technical solutions. However Twitter (in particular) seems to exacerbate out of group bias

It's not Twitter in particular. The same happens on reddit, facebook, youtube and any other place where enough peoplle gather to voice their opinions. Before twitter the same happend in usenet and smaller webforums. After twitter the same will happen in whatever global space will be envogue then. The only real way to fix it is to not give people any space at all, otherwise hate will always find it's way. Anything else is just patching details and managing tradeoffs between advantages and disadvantages.
