While I certainly don&
#39;t consider this a pet peeve or anything I do kind of think it&
#39;s funny how these exact sorts of segues happen on podcasts and, indeed, in organic conversations with other people, yet when it happens on twitter it&
#39;s perceived as inherently chaotic

Like everybody in this conversation has known each other in some capacity for about one to three years, maybe longer in some cases
So there&
#39;s an awareness of what each other generally thinks, there&
#39;s much more context associated with what people say, we can debate ideas faster
I think there&
#39;s a tendency to compare this kind of thing to, like, a reddit thread that starts out with a picture of a kitten with yarn and ends with 900 comments about people angrily debating the death penalty
But that&
#39;s a fundamentally different phenomenon, it&
#39;s trollbait
