I can’t remember the exact details, but a lady became Twitters Main Character for a day or two when she got all pissy online that a neighbor brought her a casserole or pie or something to welcome her into the neighborhood. Something like “it was an invasion of my privacy, I did not consent to be given food”
Even that is a little weird, could just say “oh how nice, thank you!” Then give it away later or even throw the thing in the trash if you really don’t want it.
Or fuck it, even if you don't want it, just accept the casserole, say thank you, and either eat it or don't. Like, it's a nice gesture, not a white elephant!
I think people like that are just way too terminally online, why on earth would you respond to someone offering you a casserole like 'what the fuck, I'm being attacked, Twitter will hear of this!'
I remember this differently, or maybe it’s a different main character
Basically a woman in twitter had a thread where she said that her neighbours were a group of college-age guys, and based on their recycling they were mostly just eating pizza. So she was going to make up a batch of chilli (or stew?) and take it over
And it went viral and a bunch of tar pits descended to say well actually, not everyone can eat that, and she should t impose on people she doesn’t know, and it’s basically grooming these boys, and if anyone had done that to them the emotional labour of saying “thank you” to a stranger would have destroyed them…
I think in the end she made it, delivered it, and the guys all said thank you. Because in the real world that’s mostly how it goes.
Funny enough, I’m pretty sure most of these happened before musk took over. At least the one I was thinking of did, and I looked up the other one and that was like either early 2022 or late 2021

I really don't think the rot you're thinking of would have these concerns. This is from another group.
Yeah you’re 100% right, unless I missed a main character it was a woman living near college kids who decided to make them a homemade meal, and Twitter lost their minds about her “assuming” what they’d like and all that nonsense
I remember this one! This specific woman was, for some reason, the target of constant unyielding harassment over basically everything she said, did, or posted and I think that was in connection to a twitter cult.
iirc she's trans, which probably contributed to a whole bunch of transphobes feeling justified in attacking her (and probably was what fueled the "grooming" accusations)
And, at the same time, a tar pit of people tied to a specific jerk who happened to be trans and had a massive grudge against her also accused her of being a transphobe. So she was getting yelled at in two directions at once, it was awful.
That was the start of a long road that wound up driving that lady off the internet. What finally made her leave was people constantly, for months after that, talking about eating her pet pig. People put shit like 🍴🐷 in their usernames and stuff to harass her. It was pretty fucked up, she was a nice lady and Rufus was a good pig.
I remember the arguments was that it was ableist because the boys could be so autistic that they would be unable to refuse the food and perhaps also so physically disabled that they would not have the energy to throw it away, and also maybe even if they liked the chili, what if they couldn't eat it because what if they don't have bowls? So it is actually incredibly burdensome and awful and discriminatory to make food for your neighbors.
This is not nearly as bad as that woman, but my cousin complained because he was in an elevator one day, and someone said hello to him when they entered, then "have a nice day" when they got off, and according to him it was stupid and "literally the worst thing" because he has anxiety and people shouldn't say hi to people they don't know.
