I’m changing my Twitter habits in the hopes of fostering something better.
New Rules:
1. No snark ever. No liking/rting “dunks” (no matter how valid).
2. Aim for high ratio of sharing good work to criticizing bad work.
3. When criticizing, provide solutions or alternative.

I honestly try. But I get upset (and snarky) when I see people I respect being bullied.

Same. Just ran into Jeet Heer’s tweet about Pinker, saw red, wrote a snarky tweet, discarded it and wrote this instead. In the end, just doesn’t feel healthy to go on like this. :/

I agree that snark can be a useful rhetorical tool, but only when used sparingly. On Twitter, it’s ubiquitous and we are all addicted. For me, it’s time for a detox.

'No snark' is a great policy. I not only adhere to it myself, but also unfollow people who unleash snark, even if they also tweet insightful/interesting content.

That’s great! Hard to do the latter for me though, snark is too ubiquitous on Twitter and most accounts I follow engage at least some of the time. It’s easy, it’s fun, and hard to resist. :/

What happens to the poor folks who follow you for the snark? Don’t they have rights? :)
