It’s always people with 150 followers who are the ones who say “don’t feed the trolls!” or “why are you giving this person attention?” You couldn’t handle two mean tweets w/o shutting your account down...try hundreds/thousands in a day. Occasionally it feels good to respond

I'm sensing my twitter presence is passing through some sort of threshold where I'm apparently a more attractive target for trolls, replyguys, beef-seekers etc. Maybe 30k followers is the threshold where things stop being as much fun and the not-fun part grows faster 😬

I've noticed it's harder for me to engage with Twitter responses as my follower count grows; I think I'm just increasingly getting overwhelmed by replies and then not responding to any of them. People with high follower counts, how do you handle this?

Somehow when you reach 50k followers something happens where people suddenly care about what you say. Your likes start getting monitored for any sort of perceived intent. They call you a “platform”. I’m surprised by this, because I’ve just kept being me...
