Gwen Snyder is uncivilDec 18, 2022

I'm going to say this as nicely as I can:

A lot of the people yelling at marginalized people for "supporting fascism" because they're slow to leave hard-won community space on Twitter...

...are also people who never showed up for those marginalized communities when they were being targeted by fascists.

It's not a good look.

Yep - just for starters, I have to wonder if those yellers understand how many Twitter support networks there are - mutual aid for trans & nonbi ppl, unhoused ppl, and so many more; specialized social networks for, say, BIPOC in academia, to creatives like, say, women in comedy sharing the names of men not to be trusted - and on and on.
These networks took years to grow organically. They won't be recreated on Masto overnight (if ever!). No amount of yelling changes that.

@RufusJCooter @gwensnyder I hope the spaces are re-created and quick. Thank you for the insight. I needed it.
