What? No, I follow people tweeting in public. I almost never tweet, but when I do it’s public as well.

To be honest I don’t know what you meant on your comment. Was it a mix of tautology with true Scotsman? You have to follow outraged people to say you are properly on Twitter thus if you are properly on Twitter the outrage is unavoidable?

His point is that you are not the average Twitter user.

You're an ivory tower inhabitant of Twitter :-)

A village is an analogy that I like more. And there are a lot of those villages around Twitter

True, but at least the public perception is that the carefully curated non hate, non garbage consuming Twitter user is a person living comparatively in a very small village.

Most people live in a huge metropolis of suffering.

BTW, there are many UX studies showing people don't change defaults. What Twitter recommends to them is what they read.
