Whatever you may think about this, in the law, the distinction does not exist. The idea that there are special rules for "publishers" is a Twitter meme.

Note I said "should be". I know there's no legal distinction today. I'm saying that that's bad, and I want there to be one.

Sounds mostly like a way for people to limit the speech and association rights of others by threatening to declare them "publishers".
