@MJCarty @davidallengreen — to be fair, the ‘only as good as how you use it’ thing also applies to Twitter; when I’ve been reading posts about how toxic so many people’s experience of Twitter was/is I have indeed been wondering what sorts of people folks have been following to get such a toxic experience, since I followed only nice people and my experience was according to that.
