That week in March when 3 creators I liked got dragged for old tweets within 4 days and I couldn't keep up
It got so bad I made a notes app list on my phone with names and dates just to keep track, and honestly once I saw the pattern of who got hit for stuff from 2016 versus 2019 I started wondering if the year even matters or if it's really just about who's climbing that month.
Did you ever look back at the list later and notice the tweets that got people in trouble were mostly jokes that aged badly, not actual bad takes? That was my takeaway when it happened to a group I followed in 2021. What helped me was muting the main timeline for a couple weeks and just checking the few accounts I actually cared about directly. The pile-on moves way faster than the apology cycle, so stepping out of the feed made it feel less like a fire I had to watch burn.
