It’s super privileged to tell people to “simply stop using Twitter.” People who rely on mutual aid can’t do that here due to much smaller reach (and sometimes even server rules). People have life-saving community on Twitter that doesn’t exist elsewhere.

Ever try sharing a Mastodon link to someone who isn’t a user? It’s a garbage experience and if you run a business or something Mastodon is not the place.

Stop putting the onus on marginalized people to make your platform succeed, that’s a garbage take!!!!!

@shantini That’s going to be the hardest thing for me is losing my Twitter community. It seems like people are kinda splitting up and dispersing. With my community I don’t know if I would have stuck with tech and taken the path that I’ve taken. I’m sure things will pan out with time, but the transition will be difficult some days.
