Twitter feels like a cage match: you go there to fight. This is how it has always been and will probably never change. I think such a platform is necessary though.
- wdpk 2y agoNot sure why you think it's necessary, twitter could disappear tomorrow and nobody would be worse off. It's not even a real fight it's more like yelling past each others without anybody actually getting much out of the experience but rage. Did you manage to breach twitter echo chamber once? convince a single person on twitter of whatever point of view you have? And this is even before all the bots and the hidden agendas of the owner
- osigurdson 2y agoYou have a good point. There have been many situations on hacker news where disagreements in comments have shed new light on topics for myself and allowed me to look at things from different perspectives (and I think I have helped others as well with my own comments). I don't think that has really happened on twitter as the argument style is different.
