I really wish Twitter developers would police better since it produces a false belief about certain movements or subcultures being larger than they are or even more homogeneous than they are.

I wouldn’t count on either Twitter or Facebook to police things like this better. If anything has become clear in the months since November 2016 it’s that they feel that doing so would have a negative impact on their shareholders and executives.
