Most people quitting twitter would be a great boon for society. So many people angrily yelling nothing of import into the ether.
If anyone out there is on the fence, please try it. Quit for 60 days—long enough to break the addiction—and see how you feel and whether you actually miss it.
I have always in my life attempted to look up to people only for the admirable parts of their existence. It's ok to think Tiger Woods is a golf god and terrible husband.
Similarly I cannot count how many 'public figures' I've learned are deranged or critically incapable of thinking from their posting on twitter. I'd much rather those people volunteer to identify themselves two me through twitter or whatever platform, so that I can know what's going on with the whole of their thinking.
Twitter almost invariably unmasks idiots more than it makes heroes.
Tragically - I have seen many people I admire look like fools.
In particular, a lot of users will 'let loose' their beef, their cynical grind on Twitter, the thing that upsets them. Consistently.
It's one thing to be 'angry' in person, with people you know - that can work - but when you do it in public, without the humane context, it just feels really unsympathetic and people look bad.
I think this is what happens when you give a man a smartphone, and have them start to just 'say stuff' 20 times a day. We don't have that much insight. We just get ornery, like a smoker needing their next cigarette.
I think this applies to everyone.
One minute I really respect a person for their moderation, conscientiousness - the next moment they're jumping on a stupid meme, over reacting to something etc..
