So um genuine question from somebody who is flattering themselves into thinking they're moderately popular: if I mention someone and the thing I say blows up, what happens at their end?
As in, I don't mind mentioning mutuals when I go off on a rant but if it's someone I don't know from maybe a marginalized group without a lot of followers I ask first. "Some rando thought you said something clever so he blew up your phone and maybe your life" isn't great and I don't want to be that rando.
One of the reasons I bailed out of twitter when I did was after having a post of mine Go Viral, the oldschool Biblically Accurate Going Viral sense of breaking platform containment and making the news in "real" media all over the world.
I felt ... complicit. As in, I know Twitter is really unhealthy, but in less than 140 characters I've just given thousand and maybe millions of people a reason to try it or keep using it. It felt complicit and gross and I'd rather not repeat that feeling.
