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 Yup, I remember awhile back my insurance company was pulling some nonsense and my doctor literally tweeted at them (not using my name, of course) and it helped get the situation resolved, essentially through public shaming. I don't know if one could do something similar with social media today.

Unless the corporations start to fear toots than the Fediverse is not going to reach the same level of power that Twitter had.

Reddit is still pretty good. Lots of angry trolls and clique-y groups but at least still something in a pinch.
I lived in fire country for many years and Twitter was my absolute go-to for in the moment life or death info.
I found one of the spotters on here recently.
