I had a moderately successful Twitter profile years ago. Few thousand followers, good engagement, etc, but left after awhile because of the effort and the fact that I was no longer in a position that benefited from minor social media stardom. I recently returned with a new account and holy crap the toxicity within the crazy-silo’d communities is off the chains.

It’s not a fun place to be if you aren’t specifically using it to advance your own agenda. Occasionally I will end up on Twitter to read a thread linked from somewhere else, but if I’m forced to log in to read I always close the tab and move on with my day…

only a tiny, tiny percent of users achieve "minor social media stardom". solving their problems actually doesn't strictly relate to the experience of the vast majority of users.
