It's odd to me that anyone whose used social media and experienced harassment knows at a small scale it can be horrible and feel hard to manage. I don't know why we'd think it's possible to address that concern with people who are reaching potentially millions of people with their content. (Lorenz, who've talked to before and think is chill, is basically asking for mods.) It's like saying I need to be concerned about the mental health of the Pepsi brand, since people make fun of it on Twitter. I'm not saying people should be awful to famous people and that folks shouldn't take responsibility. But just that it's hard to conceive of having a platform being a two way street with that much traffic.
