The response to #MyStruggle has been so positive and has really lifted my spirits, but I think we can do more.
It isn't enough that we share our stories, we need to organize, and demand affirmation from the general public.
We need to know who is with us or against us.
In a world where bigots can lurk around every corner, we need some way to identify the threats we face every day, before they can hurt us.
We could have everyone take a transally pledge of solidarity, and the people unwilling to pledge wear a badge of some sort?
So much safer.
As we build this empire of tolerance, (I don't really like that word "empire" because of it's colonial fascist connotations, maybe we could find a synonym) it is important that we make it difficult for non-allies to do business.
Labeling their workplaces hate spaces would work.
Anyway, these are just some initial thoughts, tell me what you think!

Not everyone cares about how Engagement works on Twitter, but for those who do, this is meant to be a complete guide
I will also address why I think that some are seeing a drop in engagement and how it may not be "the algorithm."
✍️1
Before we dive in, I think we need to first define some terms and explain the various types of accounts and how they operate.
ENGAGEMENT is a term that encompasses Likes, Comments, Retweets, and Quote Tweets. It is the quantifiable amount of activity on your tweets.

CELEBs: This is pretty obvious, but for the sake of this thread I will better define it as people who have a vast audience that expands far beyond any one niche. They are followed by fans and haters alike.
They TEND to follow fewer people and tweet/retweet less often.
