Question for the feed: Do you agree with the principle? Should high-follower accounts avoid doing anything that brings negative attention to low-follower accounts? Or should they treat low-follower accounts as equals?

This is interesting to me because it's part of what I see as the unique and toxic social status dynamics of Twitter.

Additional question: What if the person in question is an aggressive reply-guy who gives you a hard time? Does that change the ethical calculus?

After consulting with the Twitter hive mind, my conclusion is that screenshotting is acceptable when it's a bad actor, even if they have only a few followers. But for normal people who make a bad take in earnest, the name should be redacted.

This will be my policy henceforth...
