Fair points; there's certainly a balance to be struck between raising awareness and amplifying, and I admittedly have no idea where that line is.




I'm not the person you were replying to, but there is a rule I often see about not directly replying/quote tweeting because "engagement" appears to boost support for the ideas expressed. The recommendation then, would be to screenshot it (often with the username removed) and link to that.

FWIW it seems pretty obvious that this was ragebait. OP's profile is pretty much non-stop commentary on politics with nearly zero comments or submissions pertaining to the broader tech industry.

Posts like that deserve to be flagged if the sum of their substance is jingoist musing & ogling dumb people on Twitter.
