who are you a stan of?

Don't use Twitter would seem to be one way out of this.

Yes. Several A-list musicians I am acquainted with do not engage with social media in any capacity-- two particularly famous clients don't own phones at all and communicate solely via e-mail. But: Twitter is just a pressure cooker for a broader cultural problem.

In what ways does it happen outside of Twitter? Feels like Twitter fuels it behind the scenes either way.

harassment of people in the public sphere/their relatives happened long before twitter!! harassment can take many forms, it's just easier now

Also, writers/journalists have good reason to feel they must be on twitter for professional reasons

I suppose I assumed fgti was talking more about when people gang up to do it but I misread.
