That's fair, I guess I don't mean twitter specifically, and the shortness of communication is one of the things I don't like. I mean that there was a time when you might dream about a place on the internet where the communication mode I'm describing here (aside from the rage-creating "tweaks" like enforced shortness), where people were freely capable of communicating and interacting with people well outside of their social strata would be normal. Twitter, with it's flaws, is that place. I routinely interact with politicians in my state on twitter. I have no idea where to do that outside of that space. But the problem is that they're going to destroy it because of this stupid, short-sighted idea that they should be in control of what people on the platform are saying.
