In my eyes, this is a case where no matter from which perspective one approaches the topic, issues exist. Not doing anything against harassment is a bad solution. Doing something against it the way Germany does leads to collateral damage and overreach, which I also have a big problem with. This is really how freedom in a society dies by a thousand papercuts. I am worried about this race towards a "minimal common denominator" society where the only things that are acceptable to express are those that not even a single individual is taking offense with. Which in a highly fragmented, individualized society characterized by identity politics hardly exist anymore.
On a more general terms, people should just give up on Twitter. It's simply a shitty service that was nice to have at some point in the past, and now it's a source and force of misery, endless outrage and tribalism. The first few days/weeks of cold turkey are hard. Then it becomes easier and easier, and mental peace emerges.
