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.

@Roannasylver it makes me sad, and sometimes I feel like I'm not allowed to say it. I'm not grieving the loss of a hellsite. I'm grieving the loss of my community and maybe my audience, my ability to network, my source of non curated news, and all the #disability and #neurodivergent support groups. I used to be so much more isolated before Twitter and...I don't appreciate people scoffing and acting superior because THEY don't use Twitter.

@jayvaster_sff @Roannasylver Those are exactly the same thoughts I just posted about in this thread too! I was always a socially anxious ND writer who ghostwrote for my comic husband while never getting any recognition for my own scripts; since joining Twitter 2 yrs ago, I finally found a community of support for my own work, especially in the UK, where I even had a table-read for my pilot in London; I wouldn’t have had that progress without my Twitter lifeline!
