Redefining Twitter: A New Approach to Social Discourse

The following tags categorize responses into separate columns, sorted by the relative number of up and down votes:

  1. %RTAL - Reasons to agree that the statement is logical

  2. %RTAV - Reasons to agree that the statement can be verified (usually includes a reference)

  3. %RTAI - Reasons to agree that the statement is important

  4. %RTAR - Reasons to agree that the statement is relevant

  5. %BWOSST - A better way of expressing the same thing.

The %BWOSST tag connects tweets by topic, ensuring older tweets are organized and remembered. By organizing content by topic instead of time, we promote longer attention spans and a focus on quality over sensationalism.

One major frustration with Twitter is the constant repetition of arguments. It's akin to having to redesign and manufacture every Tesla from scratch. In a similar vein, each tweet seems to require reconstructing Science, Philosophy, and Logic. With the current Twitter system, every conversation starts from zero.

  1. %ITA - Interests of those who agree. Conflict resolution teaches us to focus on interests rather than positions. Problem-solving becomes more effective once we've identified the primary interests of each side.

Note: Substitute "D" for "A" in the tags if you disagree.

Additionally, we want to identify:

  1. %SI - Shared Interests

  2. %OI - Opposing Interests

By refining the way we categorize and view content on Twitter, we can create a more meaningful, efficient, and productive platform for social discourse.

Reframing the Debate: Beyond Taking Sides 

Instead of taking "sides," why can't we aim to better organize and present the arguments, allowing them to stand on their own merits? What we need is a transparent algorithm, one that is based on the balance between reasons to agree and reasons to disagree. Here's what we might consider:
