I haven't noticed a significant difference in discussion quality between The Platform Formerly Known As Twitter and Youtube/Reddit for most topics. Maybe I'm cynical, but the vast majority of public communication on the internet seems to be roughly the same quality in my mind.

> the vast majority of public communication on the internet seems to be roughly the same quality in my mind. I mean, could it be that it's just that the platforms you're familiar with are similar quality? There are major quality differences. Consider, for example, HN vs Instagram. Do you really see no difference in the quality of discourse, or do you just not use Instagram?

  > vast majority By bulk/raw data volume, I'd say that the vast majority of internet communication is the same quality, yeah-- I'll stick by that assertion. That's not at odds with acknowledging there exist locations where intelligent communication happens. My position is just that the signal to noise ratio is pretty bad in the majority of places.
