What gets me is that she was fired for using the platform exactly as it was intended; she followed people she agreed with and was terminated for it. That's ridiculous. I would argue that social media is so broken and weaponized, that there's no sense in being on it.

Just stick to anonymous places like this and maybe some weird, hipster sites like "space hey" or something, or an anonymous blog. Using anything as yourself just seems risky. And I agree, it shouldn't be that way. But it is, unfortunately.

The problem is that ignores that the people whining, like in this example, are the loudest, whiniest, most tech-obsessed, most terminally online people on the planet. These are the people who truly have nothing else in their pathetic life, and because they have nothing else in life, they can focus their entire purpose in life into finding you and enacting vengeance by any means necessary. No matter how anonymous you are, how many VPNs you use, they're the ones obsessed enough to find the smallest detail, the smallest place you slip up, and if they can't get one the ones obsessed enough to hack your blog's server or your VPN's server to find you and attack.
