I think that its not constructive to immediately unfollow friends who are following a problematic person. Sentiments like these create environments in which people feel like they have to always be online to avoid missing anything so they can maintain their followers. It& #39;s the -
- same energy as "like this post if you& #39;re still active so I& #39;ll stay mutuals." This creates so much pressure and makes people feel like they cant step away from technology without negative actions being taken against them. I was mostly off twitter for a few days and I just -
- saw what happened today, which is awful!!! and should not be condoned through any lens; however, unfollowing friends who might not be aware of what occurred is such a punitive response to staying offline, which is a form of self care to many. Guide friends and educate -
-them if you feel able to, but please don& #39;t unfollow those who may just be unaware. Lack of awareness does not equate to direct support.
