          —Anecdotally: Many cases come to mind. Top for me: you want to reply to people privately/exclusively (like friends at Tinder today on the FB news), you want to discuss someone's tweets without them present, or you do not want the conversation to expand past the current group

          Verify real human beings and get rid of the bots. (I’ve been on here for 8 years, use my real name and pic, and have applied for verification 3 times WITHOUT SUCCESS. I have 100K+ followers, very few of whom are bots.)

          I think it has to do with the verification process which is preventative of this.

          Here are 3 suggestions: 1. Wipe out the bots 2. Suspend accounts that are verbally abusive or threatening (including @realDonaldTrump) 3. Apologize for your role in enabling manipulation of the news & information environment in the 2016 election so we can better trust Twitter

          Honestly, I suspect longer tweets and celebrity focused environments work against this stuff. Possibly even algo timelines. When Moveable Type emphasized length and performance it caused people to optimize for audiences and less chat.

          Possibly you could emphasize friendships within the system more? Let you mark people as close friends or something so you always see what they’re up to? Prioritizing the stuff that’s more likes etc also limits how much people see idle chat

          A personal feeling I’ve had is that a number of my close friends have left Twitter for various reasons over the years. Most have stuck around but some headed off. That has made the whole place feel less chatty and friendly. I think part of that is purely cultural...

          ... ie. Is someone’s everyday experience of twitter friendly and pleasant and fun, or stressy or confrontational or aggressive. Getting back people’s friends - trying to get a greater proportion of any group back on Twitter - would probably help that a lot.

          Replying to @tomcoates @jack @kcoleman

          I suspect, but don’t know, that Facebook has more social density. In any given real-life group of people, a larger percentage are regular users. That probably makes it feel more local, chatty and social, rather than a place you interact with celebrities. Could be a balance there.

          One random thing I’ve rather liked recently - there’s this rather lovely bot called @smashhitsbot which gets people to do impromptu little interviews. It’s very nice. Could you do something like that to inspire discussion between friends?
