The fact that Twitter is reportedly removing "likes" in order to "promote healthy conversation" (with, as far as I can tell, no justification beyond "jack thinks it will work") is a darn compelling argument for that company to hire actual, trained social computing researchers.
users: hey twitter maybe less death threats
twitter: more characters in tweets, you say? here you go!
users: hey twitter could you ban nazis
twitter: we hear you want hearts instead of stars!
users: hey twitter disinformation campaigns are--
twitter: OK FINE WE GOT RID OF HEARTS
And to be clear, (a) I heart twitter as you can tell from how active I am; (b) I am really glad they're helping fuel research on healthy conversations (see link); and (c) they ARE trying to hire a social science director. So I think they can do better. :) blog.twitter.com/official/en_us…
