Oh wow what we're Not going to do is tell anyone they're overreacting or being silly to worry about #twitter's constant disaster, because for many people (esp marginalized) that's their actual lives, not a frivolous inconvenience.

Feel however you like about it (are my feelings complex? Yeah!) but don't scoff at people who are scared of losing community, friends, actual life support.

No cut. Needs to be seen.

Agree. For some it's scializing and time-wasting entertainment. For others it's a lifeline and sole source of information.

@toastygirl @Roannasylver I agree! As a socially-anxious ND writer, I had no friends, contacts or support for my writing IRL; then I joined Twitter during lockdown & met more fellow writers & supporters of my work in the past 2 yrs then all my yrs of living in LA (& finally found the ND community on Twitter too, which made me feel less alone!); they encouraged me to keep going w/my scripts & I even had a table-read in London for my new pilot because of their help!
