Thanks.
I would still vote for more squabbling. Because every conflict will end if there are ways to exit and ‘keep face’(a Chinese concept of losing with dignity).
Having no other big social media alternatives, people are unable to find community and think it’s better to kill instead of sparring. As in..better to cancel someone and deplatform an opponent rather than fighting it out.
It’s good to ‘squabble’, I feel..because when you squabble, we recognize who to avoid and who is like minded. In the long run, it results in a truly diverse community that has long term peace.
Almost 8 billion people and only one Twitter. There should be more. Why isn’t SV and the rest of tech community not coming up with more viable competition?
Twitter could invest in non competing spawns for other topics or in other regions witb their systems code and/or open sourcing their code. I mean..with a little bit of creative thinking, so many possibilities exist.
Give people room to wander..the internet is big!
- ehsankia 5y agoHe addresses that too. The kind of "squabbling" you have in your mind is far from what kind of "squabbling" that actually happens in practice. In practice you have death threats, doxxing, and a lot more animosity than the fun "Squabbling" you're thinking of.
