Lots of sadness about Twitter potentially going or significantly changing among the #LongCovid & #ChronicIllness communities. Also remember how It amplified voices that could’ve not been heard otherwise on issues like #pandemic #science #racism #GenderEquity. But don’t despair 1/
We know how to do it now so we’ll do it again. Preferably on platforms not totally controlled by billionaires and not using our connection to gain massive profit and increase inequalities. I’m an optimist on this. Because life is change. Nothing stays the same. However 2/
It’s important that those who found solace & empathy on here don’t lose that. I’m now using Mastodon (non-profit SM platform with far less hostility and toxicity so far) and I see a place for less heard communities getting established there. Find me on @nisreen@mastodon.online 3/
Don’t get put off by all the Twitter snark about it being an echo chamber or too complicated or ‘lefty’ or ‘woke’ & all that nonsense. It’s a way to connect, share and listen to each other. It’s a way to express humanity & solidarity. And if it also goes we’ll find another 🤗 4/
