Not sure why you think it's necessary, twitter could disappear tomorrow and nobody would be worse off. It's not even a real fight it's more like yelling past each others without anybody actually getting much out of the experience but rage. Did you manage to breach twitter echo chamber once? convince a single person on twitter of whatever point of view you have? And this is even before all the bots and the hidden agendas of the owner

You have a good point. There have been many situations on hacker news where disagreements in comments have shed new light on topics for myself and allowed me to look at things from different perspectives (and I think I have helped others as well with my own comments). I don't think that has really happened on twitter as the argument style is different.
