“it’s not necessarily ‘discord’ - just think light and fast group chat. you all would love to be at the same bar debating and thinking aloud...you just can’t so replicate that level of casualness and velocity in a chat. tweets ain’t it”

“so many intense and lively twitter debates should just be held in an ephemeral read-only discord channel a lot of real-time nuance, dialogue, and clarification are lost in these monster threads”

“The reason I’ve found conversation more valuable than reading recently (inspired by my chats with @kevinakwok, to name one) is that reading is a uni-directional and often brittle bundle of information flow. Conversation adapts in real-time.”

Branch widens focus with redesign, makes starting conversations easier
That’s part of what makes Branch different from the question-and-answer site Quora, which it’s often compared to. On Quora, users vote on the best answer, which shoots to the top of the page. On Branch, answers to a prompt are listed chronologically. "They’re Q and A. We’re conversation," Miller said. "We’re not interested in the right answer. We’re interested in the conversation." clients might be interested in using the site to broadcast a conversation between a few top execs, sort of like a semi-public email system that employees could read straight from the source without the danger of it turning into a reply-all party.

Earlier this month, the Unicode Consortium debuted its final list of new emojis for 2019—and we debated it. Some men felt challenged by what Pinching Hand implied about their bodies while some women challenged Drop of Blood for not being explicit enough about theirs. If I see this next
“However, I think this is more a case of accommodation rather than intended design. Group chat is simply a series of free pipes distributed via an app for you to send images and text through. ‘You’ as a group get to decide what is ok, normal, and expected to be shared. Rarely is it ever an explicit ‘decision’.”
