I haven't done fandom on Twitter either. My experience on Tumblr has been pretty quiet in the sense that I don't get drawn into a lot of conversations via tag-browsing or vice versa. I'm not sure if it's different in larger fandoms? (Even though some of mine are large, it's possible my posts are getting "lost" in the firehose, and that's fine with me!)
Re: the second point, agreed that you shouldn't have to socialize with anyone you don't want to. But they still have the "right" to post/view fanworks? I guess it gets down to fandom as social interactions versus fandom as individuals separately engaging with canon; I have a hard time seeing the first way because it's hard for me to think about a particular form of social engagement as an end in itself.
