I wonder if he’ll really get the dev teams to defuse flame wars. The TL algorithm will push any account that trends and those strongly networked, it will also promote and make you curate your own strong network. Whenever these two adversarial groups collide is bloody warfare, yet it’s so obvious to detect such incidents: likely confrontational accounts collide, strongly connected accounts start to systematically love and retweet friendlies, text sentiment turns to aggressive and taunting. It’s probably a take-at-home assignment for a data science position to detect these dynamics. Yet Twitter introduced precious little to suppress this rage machine, just “block” to further entrench bubbles and long, lawyerly drawn out questionnaires for manual report. I’d say the most half-hearted attempt since Facebook’s. So if he’s really serious about driving away the trolling flame throwing, I guess it’ll be that.
