I'm on a health sabbatical so I won't see replies for weeks, possibly months, which is why I turned them off for now. ♥️

The thing to remember though is that WE MADE TWITTER A SUCCESS.
It didn't make us.
WE need to pick a new place that meets as many of our requirements as possible.
(Which makes it hard to be Mastodon.)

It's long slow transformation back into trash is sad and actually harming everything from job referral networks to mutual aid Infrastructure.
And a source of immediate income while we continue the long expensive process of building sites & email lists.

Some say "it's just Twitter" - congrats on your privilege?
I guess?
But the rest of us who are freelancers, entrepreneurs, activists, advocates, community leaders, artists, writers, disabled, journalists & others who need ways for our communities to brush others need... Something.

I had high hopes for Tribel but. I can't articulate what the data tells me. I don't think they're gonna shut down but they are making some of the sane mistakes Twitter did.
Without the efforts that were made to balance out the growth focused energy.

They can make money off the harassment.
Instead of thinking if building a bigger, better community of billions long term, with bouncers & velvet ropes, they go for short term chicken change.

Blue Sky could make their rules to not let harassers, Nazis and white supremacists in. But it's profit over people, because capitalism.

It's great that Blue Sky is decentralized but it has the sane foundational issues as Twitter, because it's run by a corporate interest. Spoutible is community-focused.?
Obbvs no need to sell you. But if your n00b friends need a clue about what place is going to have longevity, in 5 yrs. Well.

I'm still not convinced this is the place for ALL disabled people - only because so many need sex worker income to survive.
But if I was making a bet?
In terms of freedom & safety, it's Spoutible, Hive & some Mastodon instances with diverse leadership, as far the home for Twitter refugees.

People not there in the beginning don't see how those of who are the misfits of the earth
dragged the world into our broken vehicle
and somehow managed to turn a little shitpile of a forgotten site into resources and Power.

49 years ago today, my paternal grandmother, Alberta King, was assassinated while sitting at the organ in church
Aunt Christine passed yesterday, 1 day before the anniversary of her mother’s tragic death.
Difficult day.

I don’t know what this is about. But I don’t have the power to suspend Twitter accounts?
Please be done with me.

LANGUAGE: It’s enslaved persons, not “slaves”. We are people who were ENslaved. When you say “enslaved”, you make clear that someone else did this to us. When you say “slave” you speak the language and mindset of the people who did this to us. This is important. It is not semantics. #Spoutible

Sharing this Horrible Histories clip here for those who may've missed it. It's great to see representation & ppl being introduced to Black history that has always been there but was erased. "When Harold lost at Hastings, Black ppl played their part."🔥#blackhistorymonth http://bit.ly/3jD3F9K
