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.

Indeed, I spent a couple of years building a great community and have now been marked as a "BOT" (no idea why LOL) and locked out of my account for nearly 24 hours now. Releasing a game in the next week and Twitter exposure was critical.

What really goads me is Elon's flippant attitude making jokes about it with out any thought for the stress and issues us "mortals" are suffering as a consequence.
