I agree that it's possible to curate a good Twitter experience, but it's concerning to me that Twitter is hostile by default. I'm not sure if it's trying to promulgate a specific repugnant ideology or maybe it tries to provoke everyone equally (e.g., for engagement), but in either case it seems socially harmful. And to be clear, I don't mind that it shows me a lot of content from people with whom I disagree (even forcefully), but I do mind that the content it boosts is the lowest quality argumentation (calling it "argumentation" is too generous). For example, in a recent high profile self defense case, Twitter didn't boost any legal expert analysis, but it did boost the d-list celebrities and popular journalists (and their vitriolic followers) whose views don't survive even the slightest encounter with the evidence. And to be clear, the issue isn't that it's promoting this stuff to me (I have thick skin, apparently), but that it's promoting it to everyone by default, such that it is a systemic problem.
