Using this platform made me realise how I came to accept exposure to cruelty & hostility as part of the deal of being able to talk to you. The clicks algorithm is not necessarily our connection master. How refreshing to be reminded of that.
@nisreen Took an extended break from Twitter after the Brexit vote because I had been very much taught that "Twitter is bitter" and got the predictable recommendations to go back where I came from etc. Then I think I just...grew to expect it? It's relaxing to feel more like a Twitter 2008 vibe here. Civility!
