> There is no discourse there anymore, only loads of hate.

I guess we just follow different people.

That doesn’t make sense with the given scenario. It’s followers that have visibility int your posts, not people you’re following

That's an easy way to dismiss all concerns, and backhanded also blame the ones complaining for "holding it wrong".

It's not about who I follow. It's about the replies I get when I participate in discussions around my interests.

All I’m saying is, “There is no discourse there anymore, only loads of hate,” doesn’t reflect my experience. Apologies if I offended you.

I think GP made a pretty neutral comment, and you interpreted it rather poorly.

It's a bit of an overreaction which, ironically enough, is the kind of engagement Twitter thrives on.
