I know #tonepolicing has been a massive problem on Mastodon lately, erm, but I'm going to do some anyway: the use of the word #refugee for people fleeing Twitter feels particularly insensitive at the moment given the horrific treatment of people seeking sanctuary at #Manston lately
Or alternatively, my voice is no more important than anyone else's here, can we have a conversation about the implications and decide collectively whether we should?
@afewbugs I can totally understand what you're saying, and am kicking myself for putting it in my first post. Annoyingly I'm not getting an edit function atm - would I be best
to delete and re-post?
@ClaireCopperman up to you (and this wasn't aimed at you, I didn't notice it in your post, I've just been seeing it a lot!) But edit is only available in some clients so if you don't have it that may be the best way to do it
Which isn't to minimise how important Twitter has been for making connections and finding community for marginalised groups, but still please can we not?
