genuinely cannot imagine wanting to be on twitter, or a successor to twitter, or a replacement for twitter, at this time
i’m not saying “ever”—there were times when i valued being in that kind of space—but not at this time
@Lady yeah,
@Lady i know what you mean, and i am not trying to convince you otherwise, but as always i think there's a very strong racial dynamic to it. Black Twitter was a huge source of support and connection to a lot of people, including many working class people. It's not just race of course, I was talking with a sex worker friend of mine about how SW twitter is currently flocking to Bluesky, but I think it's at its most distilled looking at Blacksky.
and i fundamentally have a hard time believing that anyone who does is a working-class person with loved ones and a job who deeply cares about and is deeply affected by the issues, because where are they finding the time
