Isn't that Snapchat?

> I am not sure there's a single time I have ever read a stream of tweets from strangers and felt anything but anger and nausea?

Don't read those people then?

It is a bit of an art to find a Twitter community who are nice, but fandoms are generally a better place to start than politics.

No. Video isn't required. Texting is allowed and used liberally with Snap.

Snap's consumption of video tends to be one way - from the followee to the follower. Or two friends, one sends video, the other sends a text response.

With my idea, the required video response clips would force participants to reveal themselves. Their mannerisms, their current emotional state.

Ahahaha, good luck finding non-toxic communities on fandom twitter, I've spent many years organizing community events and have given up on that platform for fandom fun considering the near daily dogpiles and harassment campaigns I see. And I wish that was an exaggeration.
