One simple thing twitter can do to reduce enraging behavior and harassment:
De-prioritize "reply guys" that always reply to a a popular account with an incendiary comment.
They get a ton of comments and few likes/RTs (ratio'd) yet reply guys are usually the top response to a popular tweet.
Seriously twitter, why set reply guys as the top response to every tweet? It encourages hostility, and this is but one example.
- Rule35 6y agoBecause they're what everyone wants - the counterpoint. They get ratioed because they aren't preaching to the choir. You know what posts don't have them? Ones that don't offer them anything. It's generally incendiary posts that are picked apart, and that's because they're easy and worthwhile. They have an audience that would otherwise avoid the message.
