+1. When you expand a tweet it shouldn't always be the most outraged or sycophantic responses that are on top. Very hard problem, but I agree people should be able to express themselves but the algorithm shouldn't always funnel people to the poles.
I think with the current system, users start moving towards the extremes because they see the most ridiculous level of discourse of the opposite side (I think the extreme opinions of one's own side are not as influential, you filter them as not representative, but don't allow that to the majority of people you disagree with). And the tweeters are hurt by trying to compete by saying the angriest things they can think of.
