Yup, Twitter is just another “locality” no different than a town, state, or region. It has pockets of subgroups with different beliefs and has an overarching majority opinion. It is different only in the speed that communication travels peer to peer (and maybe in its size) but otherwise it is indeed the same shit that humanity does and has done for millennia.

Only you get the benefit of a whole, new organization of people to shame you into submission independent from your already binding social organizations. How wonderful.

Edit-and I emphasize shame because the number of people who agree with everybody on earth is vanishingly small. Meanwhile, twitter does push your content to potentially everybody on earth. And we know that the people most likely to respond to content are those who disagree with it.

Well, it is optional at least. Nobody forces us to use it. I have one but barely look at it.
