@paulg Sometimes i think arguments against a particular platform, like twitter, are really an argument against the internet. Lets say twitter ceases to exist tomorrow, do you think much of what you dislike would also go away? my hunch is that it would end up somewhere regardless
Having spent all that time munging HN, I'm fairly confident that design choices can have a big effect on what a social media site is like.
I feel like thats a different statement than asking “is twitter good for the world?”. When i worked at techcrunch, us banning comments didnt stop folks from criticizing me or the companies. The site was more pleasant, but did it change the world? i have my doubts
i really respect your experience here and im offering up these criticisms because i hope your experience proves me wrong. i want to believe changing site design makes a global difference, but im skeptical. My hunch is site design doesnt eliminate ideas that want to be aired
