Reading so many accounts of especially Black people being harassed on here to the point of leaving. And also the type of aversion there is to talking about it. SMH. Can’t we have anything that isn’t racist by default?

As someone who is still assessing how & whether to use this space, I'm following you and a few other key folks to get a sense of what's possible and what's needed. I share these concerns, esp given the range of organizers & artists I work with and the real risks some folks take 💚

@rasha I’m here trying to see if we can have some sort of space we can build given Twitter’s trajectory. I anticipate that I’ll stay for a while and try to figure stuff out. Disappointing to see all these accounts although not surprised.

Just in case I haven't made it clear, I appreciate so much all you do and tend to 💜
As someone who's been doing social internet since IRC & telnet, I'm not looking to abandon any options. I am glad to at least have some alternatives in case the birdsite starts Fail Whaleing again.
