Also I'm trying my hardest not to be mean here but every time I go back on Twitter or Bluesky it really feels like folks on there have a greatly expanded idea of what constitutes "harm". That said, I recognize I'm going down a dangerous path by saying this because I recognize that some of the worst attacks and abuses that happen on those websites are made possible by the fact that they look to a bystander like "no big deal". I kind of think that Twitter and Bluesky make you fragile, and I don't mean that in a derogatory sense, I think they really make you easier to break, and bad actors exploit that. And in spite of all the above, I don't wanna be prescriptive either, because I know that there were multiple points in my life when it was much healthier for me to be on Twitter than to not be on Twitter.
