Fundamentally, we need to focus more on the conversational dynamics within Twitter. We haven’t paid enough consistent attention here. Better organization, more context, helping to identify credibility, ease of use. Challenging work and would love to hear your thoughts and ideas.

Encouraged.... it’s flat out discouraged. Ppl have to be blind to not see how biased & slanted news media is let alone the ones that PURPOSELY misinform & worse... encourage hate & rage. I would like to believe more are waking up to it.

Make everyone use their real name (i.e. verify *every* account). That would produce amazing results overnight.

Agreed, then the liberals who want to fire anyone who commits wroongthink can have their enclaves... And in response the Conservatives will do the same. Without more hatred and division; how can we grow as a nation?! What? That's what would happen... Why pretend otherwise?

Careful: who decides what “nuanced” or “thoughtful” is? The thought police? NYT? WaPo? Those are subjective terms that would require categorizing every tweet as “nuanced or not.” Fascist regimes implement speech controls. You’re being used ....

If a media outlet disseminates false information to the masses, do they get banned from Twitter?? Btw, .
@jack, you have a serious problem with many of your users. They call anyone who doesn’t agree w/them a nazi & they want all nazis banned.

We have done many independent empirical tests. It is very clear that Twitter employees and/or algorithm are hiding content from accounts, most times unfairly. You promised an environment of free communication and that is not what you are providing. Stop shadowbanning!

The mass block lists are real: ie
@johncusack The tweet stats are clearly tampered with and “inorganically” standardized. The recommendations are fake and unintelligent for many. -

Yeah I saw that consistently in the replies. We are being sent to the back of the bus. Not conservatives. Not libertarians. Anyone and everyone who is not a fugging leftist.

My biggest question is why are an majority of conservative/GOP profiles being
#QFDshadowban this is against the first amendment of free speech as you told Congress you don't ban us. It's time to be fair to both sides and be bi partisan, not just your left wing buddiesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Ban the Nazis and people like Cernovich who are so very obviously arguing in bad faith. Literally 5 seconds of research is enough to identify bad faith actors

Dear Dave! Use the nazi term sparingly and it will be more meaningful! Adding it everywhere means no one takes you seriously! Counterproductive!!!! Seriously way too many people throw accusations like that on this platform. Its disgusting and undermines the depravity of nazisn.

The Nazis are back. There are lots and lots of ethno nationalists about, which is basically the foundation of Nazism/fascism. If it isn't stopped, we will be watching another genocide happen, and
@jack will bear a large part of the responsibility -
Hyperbolic nonsense. World more peaceful than ever, more tolerant. Yeah we have problems but come on...Nazis are back? Maybe if you only read the Guardian and have a severe bout of confirmation bias. You are smarter than this David.
