    Bad tweets are bad. But dog piling is also bad, redundant. One thing people need to work on, myself included, is ignoring bad tweets. Unless they're bad in an original or hilarious way, in which case there's some entertainment value.

        Ignoring things doesn't just magically make the problem go away. If people are consistently saying something wrong, call them out. How else do they grow as person without ever admitting when their views are wrong or harmful?

        depends who it is, definitely think dogpiling randos is a waste of time, but anyone verified or with an audience/fanbase it's good

        The left needs to stop taking the bait from trolls on the right. Ya it’s fun to dunk on them but it’s exactly what they want. Jus block and move on

        If you have 100k+ followers dog piling is also vastly different then for regular users of this site. Folks should really fight within their own weight class

        Everyone thinks nobody is calling out the bad tweets, thus... everybody ends up calling it out... I think it's a part of the phenomenon.
