I don't think the article is entirely wrong but the example of shame from Twitter doesn't seem to fit as neatly as they'd like. For me, when I see something like this or #goodcispeople it's mostly about complaints and not targeting black men or cis people. If people feel shame from such complaint-fests I can't be sure if you're not just thin skinned. It really seems to me that's the real problem with utilizing such hashtags as examples since you have to go out of your way to find them.
Whereas the author could've more easily looked at how certain Twitter users have been stalked and harassed for not supporting full communism (I'm not kidding, people have been dogpiled, stalked, and harassed for this). That event fits better with what the author is trying to demonstrate than just random black women or trans women airing complaints on a hashtag at no account or person in particular.
