#2How will this play when a mea culpa acts as blood in the water for some groups of bad actors?

#3This is precisely the discussions and issues we need to be solving to better the social media death trap we’re already in. Not only that, they supplied some really solid ideas on how, also. Kudos

Precisely my concern.
When social media channels are new, the bad faith actors are small and legitimate discussion can occur. As they age, people get burned more often and a higher proportion engages in the contagion.

#5Even increasing the content limit will go a long way towards deescalation. I find that, on Twitter, one often has to resort to oversimplified hyperbole and sarcasm because it's very difficult to fit more thoughtful and nuanced messages in the content limit.
Yes it's possible to write multiple tweets. But that takes significantly more effort.

The oversimplified hyperbole is also a primary key to twitter's success. If you remove that feature it just creates a vacuum for some other aggregated micro-blog to fill.

#8this is a great idea, and that's precisely why twitter would never implement it

#9> By admitting a mistake, the poster stops the runaway train of replies and amplifications of their mistake, and the reputation damage that follows.
No matter the apology of the mistake, those who demand them to apologise will still reject it and push further for calls for the accused to be cancelled. The replies and amplifications will divert into real life instead of Twitter.

#10I think the mockup emphasises the original tweet too much and the apology too little.
Suggestion: put the apology first. Use black color for apology, faint gray for original.
