@BlackAzizAnansi I came late & "QTs cause toxicity" was already well established as "fact". There's actually a fair body of research that says it's not true (see https://absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2023/01/12/quote-tweeting-over-30-studies-dispel-some-myths/ ), largely dismissed as not in line with people's lived experience. Obviously, as you and others have said, it's deeply troubling that when Black users say QTs are an essential tool to fight toxicity rather than the reverse, *that* lived experience is dismissed.
