I might talk about allegations and suppositions about an individual's behavior until I've seen evidence, but the hate and disinfo groups aren't imaginary.

Groups that promote hate speech and misinformation do so by invading other communities and being disruptive. Brigading and doxxing have been their tools for a long time.

Personally, I've seen that breaking up groups that promote hate speech and misinformation helps the remaining members to enjoy the community in peace.

The problem is that what is considered "hate speech" and "misinformation" is often very subjective. How would someone even "invade" other people's communities? Everyone chooses their own timeline after all.

If all you ever do is read and never post anything people might interact with, then that's true. That's not much of a "community" though if nobody ever posts.

"Interact with"? You mean reply? If your tweet goes viral, you might indeed get unwanted replies. But usually you only get them from people who follow you, or other people close in your circle.
