Hey folks, a gentle reminder to offer some kindness right now as appropriate.

I know folks are getting their laughs in with #twitterdown and the migration here and elsewhere happening extremely quickly once more. Just remember...

A ton of people are watching the communities they built crumble. Job stability for many people, particularly sex workers, artists, and other creatives are in extreme jeopardy. Some people who need crowdfunding to live are currently terrified of what happens next.

There are valid reasons to hate #twitter but remember to not be mean to people sad about its demise. There is an appropriate way to balance our reactions to this news.

@literalgrill I keep thinking about how suddenly outlinks to things that are used for journalism, and general web embeds are now suddenly all broken. A sudden loss of access. I know some people used Twitter as embeds for their art sites too. I don't like twitter, and sorta never have, but yeah, the hate towards the people who are only now moving away from it is quite frankly unacceptable and sad.

I am glad that new people are here. I hope they stay and bring their friends.
