I wonder how much of Twitter's toxicity would vanish if it allowed users to whitelist the comments appearing under their tweets. And how much this would harm engagement, if at all.https://twitter.com/Telegraph/status/1056860881869553664 …

Those 99.9% would whitelist by default. The feature would only be used by some power users who seem to suffer a very real and quasi-permanent harassment.
I'm skeptical about how important that is. Which power users not only complain but leave the service? Complaining gets them attention and virality. No doubt your whitelisting idea has merit. Twitter's problem is not lack of solutions, it's that they don't take action.

A number of smart voices have virtually stopped tweeting. Now, did they leave because of harassment or because of PR?

Haha good question. I can only think of one, Marc Andreessen and, to your point, it was PR. Counterexamples?
