Twitter is an outrage factory; almost everything about its design lends itself towards engagement via accelerating conflict.
I foresee that this sort of tool would encourage conflict within smaller communities that adopt its use, or cause them to evaporate in a flurry of mass blocking.

If enough people boot themselves from a community that it becomes too small to be viable... I dunno, maybe the world is better off without that community.

- TobyTheDog123 5y agoI don't really understand what's so terrible about that. You could always block them too? It doesn't go on infinitely.
