I’m worried that the last few weeks have made us think the problem is Twitter’s leadership when maybe the real problem is Twitter.
@hankgreen maybe, but a big part of the problem is also WHO you follow on Twitter
@noicingcupcake I’m trying to think more about the overall negative impact on society. Which certainly does not need to impact everyone (or even most people) for it to be quite bad.
@hankgreen true, fair, but it also goes back to how it allows echo chambers to be created, since people's experiences can be so vastly different
@hankgreen @noicingcupcake Personally I have to disagree in this case. While yes, there was a non-significant part of Twitter that was pretty awful, Twitter also helped enable millions of people to more easily network for job opportunities and freelance work than pretty much any other site on the internet. It might be my optimistic nature talking, but I do believe it did more good than harm to our society in general (even if just slight).
@hankgreen @noicingcupcake
Do you think the overall negative impact is inherent to Twitter itself, or the microblog format?
