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.

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.

Looking to reconnect with folks within these communities. Slowly getting used to Mastodon, but miss keyword searches!
