From the article:
"Somewhere along the way an account with a large and conservative following retweeted it, an action that flooded my notifications page"
The point being that even if you are trying to use twitter as a social network to connect with friends and only have 300 followers (or 10000) it only takes one account with a vocal following to take your innocent tweet (that they could of found through twitter search) and put a negative spin on it through a retweet. Which then unleashes the masses on you.
- morgante 11y agoYes, I did in fact read the article. But if you're trying to use Twitter as a social network to connect with friends, you don't have 10,000 followers. The author is clearly a public figure: she's a comic and writer, not someone just networking with friends. If she didn't have thousands of followers, the likelihood of the conservative finding her tweet would have been exponentially lower.
