Discover and read the best of Twitter Threads about #IndiaAgainstAbuse

Most recents (1)

Since the lockdown, I've had many conversations with young people (on Insta lives, podcasts, talks, etc), and one of the most asked questions, unsurprisingly, has been: How does one tackle the toxicity/hate when putting out an opinion online?

Here's what I tell them:
#Thread
1/ First, we should recognise that not everyone responding to what we have posted is being 'hateful'. Some are just disagreeing or giving feedback (constructive or otherwise).

If you have a public profile, there are people who will disagree with you, and that's okay.
2/ Often, we call those who disagree with us 'trolls', but I feel we should be wary of reducing people (who aren't abusive) to labels.

Sometimes, a comment may only be about what you said (an argument) and not about who you are (an attack). It's important we know the difference.
