The phrase "twitter mob" is dehumanizing, I really suggest you stop using that phrase like that. Consider the individual and why some statements may have caused them to become upset. Consider that some people may be speaking out on social media because their lives are threatened, and dismissing them as part of a "twitter mob" doesn't help at all. Consider that if someone has a platform of millions of followers and is using that to spread hostile and harmful views that lead people towards malicious actions, then some of those opinions might not be so innocent after all.

Edit: If you find yourself disagreeing with this comment because you were upset or offended by the actions of some twitter users, then let's talk about that. Don't just bottle it up and downvote, that will only continue the dehumanizing behavior.

I have yet to see any convincing case of someone who has the wealth to afford a computer, internet, and time to spend on Twitter whose "lives are threatened", and no hyperbole causes a larger eye roll from me.

Are you saying that someone who has a computer, internet and a twitter account can't have their life threatened? What? If someone says their life is threatened, I suggest listening to what they have to say, and not dismissing it outright as hyperbole. If you feel twitter is overwhelming and causes a lot of eye rolling, then maybe take a break?

If "twitter mob" is dehumanizing, then we really have to cut to the heart of the matter and cancel the English language and Roman alphabet.

Anything less than utter nihilistic rejection of all aspects of Western civilization is, at some level, agreeing with and abetting the Binary Intersectional Tyrannical Cis-Hetero Slave Lord Anti-woke Patriarchy (BITCHSLAP).

Or are we not woke enough yet?

Please show proof of that in the specific instance you're talking about before dismissing someone as "part of a mob" or a "bot". Studies I've seen show that it's not always bots. Some people actually just do get mad when you say cruel things about them.
