Sure, though I feel like it&#x27;s worse on Twitter than in most places for a few reasons: it&#x27;s really easy to retweet and disseminate someone&#x27;s post, and the public nature of accounts&#x2F;tweets makes it very easy to dogpile.<p>On Facebook you might get some flak from your uncle, on a forum you might get into a tussle with another poster, but there are natural limits to the severity and the scale. On Twitter many of these limits are stripped away - it&#x27;s <i>very</i> easy, and very common, to retweet someone &quot;look at this fucking idiot&quot; and invite your circles to pile on, many of whom will have never heard of the offender before.<p>This is also how harassment and abuse on Twitter is worse than other platforms - on Facebook you might get into a flamewar with your uncle and face awkward family dinners for a while, but on Twitter a dogpile is millions of users large, and you&#x27;re statistically guaranteed to get a few people with legitimate screws loose in that bunch who might actually SWAT you or stalk you or otherwise take things way, way too far.<p>Add this to the fact that Twitter&#x27;s length limits discourage nuance and encourage soundbites and you get IMO the worst intersection of soundbite culture, outrage culture, and massive built-in virality.
