idea: put all of my non-mutual follows in a list called "consume" (or w/e) and then unfollow them I'm intrigued by how that might affect my Twitter experience
I’ve been thinking about making an alt under my real name, protected account, following and followed by just a few dozen mutuals (ppl I learn the most from). Kinda like my own private Slack or email list, but with the Twitter interface/norms.

Is Twitter the medium because you like the restricted character length, the notifications, the UX, the automatic threading, the existing social network... or some combination of all the above?

twitter is the perfect midpoint between chatroom and forum. it flexes to be both asynchronous and real-time unfortunately the company that nailed this intersection is... twitter

To me, the twitter interface/norms are the problem. I wish there was a way to make sure that all our communication approximates the mutual best interest.

I’m specifically thinking about the character limit and lossy feed (ppl don’t necessarily read/reply to everything). Both of those together make it easier for me to post on Twitter vs. other forums. The stereotypical antipatterns (e.g. outrage mobs) don’t bother me too much.

That would be a bummer for those of us in the public, but I understand we're not all good apples.

Oh it’s not the quality of the apples (they’ve pretty much all been great IME). It’s just the quantity — I want a room with fewer apples in it :)
