Twitter is testing “humanization prompts” which will show users' shared interest and mutual followers when replying to another user's tweet
Jack Morse / Mashable : Tweets: @twittercomms , @carnage4life , @bigblackjacobin , @tonyromm , @tha_rami , @hunterwalk , @green_footballs , @jmorse_ , @lolgop , @yashar , @brandyzadrozny , and @jolingkent Tweets: @twittercomms : “In the heat of the moment, people can forget there's another human behind a Twitter account. By showing what we have in common, we hope to remind people of what connects us as a starting point.” 🤝 https://twitter.com/... Dare Obasanjo / @carnage4life : Twitter is trying to reduce toxic replies by showing your mutuals & shared topics. I don't see how shared topics helps (we both like memes, so what?) but interesting if having mutual follows or followers makes a difference. Lots of bold experiments now. https://mashable.com/... https://twitter.com/... Edward Ongweso Jr / @bigblackjacobin : I thought y'all were doing a bit when you kept talking about “humanization prompts” https://twitter.com/... Tony Romm / @tonyromm : twitter's most popular interest tag is about to be “thrist” https://twitter.com/... Rami Ismail / @tha_rami : Really excited to finally learn both me and the person wishing me a violent death because I said accessibility considerations for Dark Souls both like “video games” https://mashable.com/... @hunterwalk : Yes! Facebook should be doing this as well. By helping people recognize their simarities, we can build empathy & shared connection, even when we might disagree. This won't stop asshole trolls but helps more of us stay human & kind online https://twitter.com/... Charles Johnson / @green_footballs : Ever get the feeling you're an unwiling guinea pig in a massive social engineering experiment run by idiots? https://twitter.com/... Jack Morse / @jmorse_ : This... is actually kind of an interesting experiment? https://twitter.com/... @lolgop : Looking forward to Twitter reminding me that both @marcorubio and I spent 2016 calling Donald Trump a hellacious con man. https://twitter.com/... Yashar Ali / @yashar : I love the things in common prompt in the screenshot below. I imagine one day I'll get a prompt and it'll say “You and Maria both follow elephant accounts.” or “You and Josh both follow Liam Hemsworth and Sean Cody.” https://twitter.com/... Brandy Zadrozny / @brandyzadrozny : I really like how Twitter tries things that are ... kinda weird? ... Like a lot doesn't work but they are so much more willing to test out things in furtherance of making the platform a nicer place to be. https://twitter.com/... Jo Ling Kent / @jolingkent : Love this idea - makes all of us a little more human... maybe even the trolls and bots too 😜 https://twitter.com/...
