Real. Lots of people seem to spend their lives tweeting "insults" at women who say anything gender related? While they were real people, bots might have been more creative: a revolving array of "cunt" "snowflake" "bitch" "SJW" "first world problems" etc.

Maybe they'll screenshot, etc. I know. Whatever. That adds friction—someone has to find the tweet or type my name and then write something. Greatly decreases the fly-by idiot comments. Pointless to report—no deterrence, just work for me. Mute/block pointless: it's fly-by idiocy.

I could ignore it—most of it is the zillionth iteration the same stupid comment. But, no, I want control over whether news outlets or anyone can embed my tweets and I want control over whether a tweet in a thread—it's a thread for a reason—can be quote-tweeted in isolation.

Yes. I may do that. I actually like the messy/opennes of Twitter. I don't mind disagreement and can totally ignore the occasional idiocy or insult. But there needs to be controls to add friction to the *volume* of idiocy/insult. Problem is scale/volume.https://twitter.com/JuanIsidro/status/1042401273105014794 …

At a minimum, someone wants to quote a tweet embedded within a thread? Force the outlet/website to embed or quote the *whole* thread. That should discourage the fly-by idiocy and out-of-context quoting. Either that, or Twitter should just disable threads so we get it: no control.

You are just getting worked up about the whole Apple thing
Completely unnecessarily if you ask me. It will pass by itself, like a minor cold. Forget about it.

It does wonders to spellcheck to write in multiple languages.
