I wouldn't go that far but I do get the gist
Yeah, Twitter doesn't allow for nuance.
By and large, communities on Hive operate on an affinity basis (upvote good content, ignore bad content, engage in meaningful dialogue & debate when there's well-written content that you disagree with). Twitter, on the other hand, feels like a cutthroat "we vs they" landscape, where negative vibes rule the day.
Jaron Lanier explains this fairly well in some of his talks (and a little bit in The Social Dilemma movie). The algorithms are (unintentionally) designed to amplify negative feedback, because our built-in (amygdala) negative response mechanism is both quicker and more forceful than our positive response mechanism.
However, the way those algorithms operate is entirely a result of their chosen business models and, as such, is baked into their platforms. That is one of the many reasons I am bullish on Hive; it will be impossible for Twitter to capture or emulate the Hive 'vibe' without completely upending their business model, which is highly unlikely.
The way social media algorithms work explains much of the current lack of constructive dialogue and toxic polarization. I noticed from the start that Hive is a polite environment or at least much moreso than most Web 2.0 platforms.
