OMG THIS

My ability to get folx, who’d normally dismiss me as just another “angry Black woman”, to start paying attention to the harm they’re inflicted at scale is 100% the result of how this platform used to work

I’ve been on others for years and they don’t come close

@KimCrayton1 #twitter and #facebook were also significant factors in the election of trump. Hello new #SupremeCourt. The spread of electoral lies leading to voter suppression initiatives. The spread of Covid conspiracies responsible for the loss of 10,000s of lives easily. The spread of #disinformation around #LGBTQ+ resulting in draconian new initiatives and hate. Yes some people got noticed and buzzy and some (a few) got attention for their issues. Worth it? Perspective.
