Simultaneously having a reasonable conversation with Saikat Chakrabarti by email while a series of angry people (presumably less informed than him about Ocasio-Cortez's policy) call me names on Twitter makes it clear how useless Twitter is for talking about anything complicated.

The sheer variety of suggestions here show just how little of that space has been explored. Possibly the answer is a meta-solution: a service whose explicit policy is to experiment and evolve rapidly, in contrast to the extreme conservatism of Twitter.

I'd love Twitter with stricter write permissions. Or whatsapp groups with more public reading. At least for those of us not already in those cool private groups

I think a combination of text + audio is the way. Tone and context are so hard to capture via text alone.

Maybe a service where you are only allowed to reply in chunks of between 100 and 1000 words. Long enough to express something complex, but with a limit to force you to express your ideas as concisely as possible.

What are the other knobs to turn, besides length of each post?
