Twitter should be connected to a health tracking device so that users would only be able to reply to tweets as long as their pulse and blood pressure is still on a relaxed level. This could prevent dysfunctional "social" media "discussions" a lot.

Tweet Elon Musk. Could be a "verified calm badge"

... that would be an amazing new precedent for the amazing Brave New World after The Great Reset.

... there are much better, and noninvasive, ways to social engineer a social media site to promote an actual good discourse.

First issue: people with high blood pressure will be discriminated against.
Second: some people are calm while angey

@ostream ah, haven't heard that pasta in a long time

Dude, That's actually a good idea. There are smart watches that watch Stress levels n stuff.

The accuracy is stupid and it basically only monitors heartrate with some extra steps but yknow... I could build a website that only allows you to post as long as the watch is reading normal values ...

Would be Impossible to enforce but fuck it, 90% of the userbase would be too lazy to trick it

Actually lets do the opposite, lets make DevRant that only allows you to post when you're fucking pissed

@Hazarth it would be the end of the joke/meme category

@jessj @Hazarth yeah I remember a friend told me he had a fitness tracker that was supposed to track distress / unhealthy unhappiness, problem was when he was sad and depressed that was mistaken for feeling calm and relaxed.

So don't trust body tracking devices.

But I pay more attention now and try not to post when I am upset, except for devrant, of course ;-)
