I maintain that the short-form limitation of Twitter is exactly what amplifies the shitstorm compared to other social media platforms. Being anonymous makes people act like assholes, but when you only have 140 (now 280) characters to speak your mind, it guarantees that conversations across the site will be less clear and more often misunderstood. And miscommunications between people who are already anonymity-shielded dickwads leads to a positive feedback loop of Syfy's new worst movie, Shitnado.
