that's literally the very mechanism that weakens public discourse because it turns discourse into a 280 word soundbite popularity contest.

Productive and democratic discourse consists of people assembling a community of their peers eye-to-eye to solve local issues, not billionaires and dictators addressing a mob like Mussolini on the Palazzo Venezia with a megaphone.

Any idea of significance has subtlety and complexity, both of which are anathema to Twitter.

Rage, on the other hand, can be perfectly encapsulated in a few characters.
