  Calm down.

  These are called mitigations. They will make a big impact.

  A single tap to start spewing shit at someone is very different from having to enter someone’s username. Or even having to find someone’s username, depending on how the screenshot is handled. Friction is the point here.

  You come off a bit like someone saying “you think this’ll fucking stop me?”

    The question is mitigating for whom. I fear the only beneficiaries will be fascists and pornbots

      Screenshots will be fine in the case of fascists. It’s not like replies to them are effective anyway.

      And I don’t remember seeing many “look at this damn pornbot” quote tweets.

      This is a more constructive reply tho. Thank you.
