Reddit and Twitter are incredibly hostile places.
I have a friend who privated her Twitter account a few years back. She made the mistake of replying to a tweet to state that non-white people can be racist too, and ended up getting doxxed and harassed.
Also, I remember the time when I kept getting DMs on my Reddit account stating things like "just reminding you that you're a c***"
I've not been in a situation this bad before but sometimes I do find it funny to get a random DM without any context say "You're a cunt". I would just rofl and go on with lifeπ Like what does one achieve woth saying something that doesn't even land in my brain lmao
Crazy, that should be an uncontroversial statement. It's sad that people on the left have radicalized too and are sometimes going too far, giving the right a larger attack surface. Of course regular algorithm driven social media stimulate radicalization because rage drives up engagement.
