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 …

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?

Yes, Paul Graham too, but he came back recently. I'd assume that people leave mainly because of PR. Yet many people in media/politics receive a lot of abuse on Twitter. Could be harmful to the company in the long run, if only by creating room for a competitor.

I think the conventional wisdom is that if you say something, let's say, racist on twitter or in a conference call...or wherever, it will jeopardize the success of the company. Maybe I want to believe this, because I'm spoken, but I don't believe it's correct.
