Defining boundaries on Twitter is challenging. For some, being on Twitter feels like being in a small room with their favorite people. For others, it's a megaphone to express their opinions and critiques. Others use it to find content. (There are a myriad of use-cases)

Not all boundaries are good, and society is always evolving. But having a common understanding of what's appropriate, and what's not, in a variety of contexts is helpful. An acute example: "You can take off your pants in your house, but you shouldn't if you're on Zoom."

The beauty of online spaces is that we can interact with, and seek to understand, an incredible diversity of people from all around the world. But too often, all that diversity is hidden behind an 140px avatar. We don't truly *see* each other.

I know some people reading this are going through a really tough time. Others have been up all night with their newborn baby. Someone may have just lost a parent to COVID. In-person, I might be able to perceive that you're struggling. But online, you're just a smiling avatar.

The way you navigate public spaces often depends on how insulated you are from others. If you're feeling upset, but you're in your car, you might yell and swear at other drivers. But you wouldn't do that if you were on the sidewalk. The car insulates you; makes you feel safe.

The way you navigate public spaces also depends on how *safe* you feel. If your experience of Twitter is a barrage of toxic DMs, sexual comments, etc. then you'll act (and react) on Twitter differently than someone who gets very little negative attention.

"On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog," and on Twitter, you don't really know much about the people you're interacting with. What kind of unsolicited DMs do they get? What's going on in their life right now? What's happening in their country? What's their true intent?
