Five years ago today people in Ireland (& some who travelled #HomeToVote) #repealed the #8th in Ireland.
There was lots of organising for people to get to their polling place (Ireland doesn't make it as easy as some other countries).
The following day I was in a sunny field full of buttercups desperately waiting on updates from the tally people via twitter.
By the time the marriage equality and abortion referendums came I had already lost my Irish vote, but am very proud of how the country voted -

I know we called Twitter a hellsite and most of us deactivated multiple times but I'm just thinking about #repealthe8th and #hometovote and even the Super Mario red beret thread and how these things couldn't have kicked off on a different social media website.
Even if Mastodon takes off, we have lost something. Or rather, we have had something stolen from us.
