Who gives a shit what any idiot on Twitter says?

It's a place full of literal Nazis, and if you choose that place to have a discussion it's just because you're addicted to arguing with trolls.

From her Wikipedia, that's her full time job for the last decade besides grift campaigns she never stands a chance of winning.

Edit:

And why make an entire account to post only negative posts about Wikipedia, and then barely use it?

This is a silly premise. Single-purpose shared accounts are good for security purposes, particularly if you want to expose a problematic organization whose members will stop at nothing to harass, stalk and even doxx you. You might as well argue that the accusers of Andrew Tate should be deanonymized.
