It's been good reading @jeffdoctor's many concerns about the Fediverse in general. I think it can be a force for good and shared more of my thoughts here:

Please keep inviting your disabled/chronically ill friends to things. We can't always come, but it means a lot to know we're still wanted.

My social circle has dwindled *dramatically* since I got sick, and the pandemic cut off 80% of what remained.

Even if I say no a lot it doesn't mean I never want to come. In fact, it means I want to see people more, when I'm able.

I notice these differences while learning Scottish Gaelic, it's a huge incentive to learn it for me! I recently learned that "agam" translates as "at me", so if you want to say you have a dog you would say "tha cù agam" - literally you are saying "the dog is at me". This may seem subtle, but ideas about human dominion/ownership are challenged by this difference 💗🌿🦋

Just a reminder to all the new arrivals here:

These instances are NOT commercial entities like #Twitter ... someone is paying the bills for servers and networking, and the massive influx of people like us are raising those costs enormously.
