this line stands out to me — i (& most studies) would say the internet has directly enabled the proliferation of extreme/socially unacceptable views & actions. but if you're more concerned with mobs on the timescale of days (which i disagree is more important) this doesn't matterpic.twitter.com/Rlsd30LuEZ

i also think it's disingenuous to conflate misinformation mobs (eg doxxings from misidentifications) with "cancellation mobs" that usually act on ideas already integrated into the social consensus. lots of certain types of ppl love to do this & imo it's intellectually dishonest

i do wish more ppl esp on the "cancel culture is bad" side of things would write stuff like this that is pretty well thought out and shows a depth of thinking that is at least available to disagree with in an adult manner. instead of just like "boohoo my haters" lol
