CW: Birdsite/Tusksite Plea
A lot of people *have* made the decision to cleanly and completely cut ties with #Twitter and for those people, the calculus made sense. But many more of us have established channels of access to mutual aid, to/within marginalized groups, to information that has no analogue here. #DisabilityTwitter
#QueerTwitter
#BlackTwitter
among others, were and still are vital access points for many of us. Abandoning those communities feels wrong to me and to many others. -
I'm not in any of these groups, but having listened to and learned from so many in the #BlackTwitter, #QueerTwitter, and #DisabledTwitter communities, I have some faint secondhand sense of the tragedy involved in them having to leave and rebuild.
If I leave 🐦, much of the value lost for me will be those voices, but if they leave, their loss will be much, much deeper. I hope that they find a new, better home, and I hope to find them again.

CW: Cut for mentions of SW
As a rando, watching Twitter implode is fascinating.
As someone who really loved the sense of community I found in #BlackTwitter and #QueerTwitter, I'm heartbroken.
As a SWer (virtual ProDomme), I'm so used to having platforms taken away from me that I'm numb. A good 90% of my clientele found me via Twitter. I don't even know how to start over yet again. It's exhausting. I like my job! I don't want to quit, but I'm tired of being chased away from all of the internet.
