I think because of the 140 char limit, people are incapable of listening to each other now. We're traumatized by it.

You expect that the thing you're reading isn't saying anything, so you don't read it carefully, or you project the extra context yourself and assume the person is implying things you don't like out of a need for self preservation. It'll be alright.

You're safe now. You actually argue productively here. The art of finding common ground is back.

That's not a fake thing on twitter.
