Twitter and Reddit are probably far less toxic than platforms like Instagram and maybe Facebook due to a factor of reasons. The amount of criticism can easily distort its amplitude, although there are self-reinforcing effects between single critics. There is a reason why successful actors and personalities have a PR agency. If you become an "influencer" or just the focal point of the lastest discussion, you don't have that. It might work, but there is a reason why such agencies exist. They should not, but some people are quite enthusiastic. We would have been far more ready if people actually adhered to the advice to share personal information rather defensively. But the reward of attention was probably too large. I don't even believe mobs are a problem. Some opinions on topics will always converge. There just needs to be a way to escape them. In most cases there are trivial ones. It would be a huge loss if we restrict the net because some people wanted attention and got not so nice feedback.
