Oh, it wasn't you! It was getting retweeted by other accounts out of context, including a very influential one and I could see the incoming avalanche of negativity/abuse so I did what I could to stop it.

I've done that before. I know Twitter is a public platform, but when something is taken out of context, and attracts ire from randomers, it can have a very negative impact on your mental health. You gotta take care of you!

Thanks! Yeah, it was getting too much and it felt like a silly hill to die on. Saw the bad retweets just before going to bed and it seemed like the only way to stop it was to nuke the thread. Seems to have worked.

Stuff like that is dire and not worth the stress. People with 10000s of followers only need 0.1% of them to grab their internet pitchforks and your day is ruined over something flippant.
-
Yeah, that's what had just started to happen, and from a generally positive account too! I deleted it just before it became overwhelming.
