- rstupek 6y agoI think the other social media platforms don't have as much of a mega phone effect that twitter does? Twitter posts by default can be seen by the world which differs from other social media sites?

- SAI_Peregrinus 6y agoI think most other social media sites are public by default. Reddit, most forums, Youtube, TikTok, HN, etc.
- marcus_holmes 6y agoI don't know why Twitter is the one they all chose. It's unique in restricting the size of posts, maybe that's it? I don't know what the effect would be. I don't think we can roll the clock back to 1995. But equally given the current situation in the USA I don't think the status quo is sustainable. If you forced me to give an answer, then I think there should be a 1-hour delay on all tweets. It's the immediacy of the thing that gives it the power. If we just slowed it down then I think it would work better, because human nature.
