@lisamelton @lisa That said, lovely to meet you - I'll be over here more to get a feel for discourse on federated platforms, as I have an awesome grad student who is doing cool work on blocklists over here.

@lisamelton @noleli @lisa ah, but IMO there's still value there - transfem literary twitter, in particular, is casually generating insightful trans theory all the time. It also hits two of my research areas, platform migration and user agency/resistance - I'm both impressed by and academically interested in how trans women, especially, are finding new ways to adapt around the encroaching horribleness. Plus, Twitter is still how queer and trans students keep finding me.
