I know it isn’t entirely related, but it kind of reminds me of when Biden said that he wanted to make peace with Republicans, even after Jan. 6th.
We badly need a democrat, progressivist or hell, any kind of politician who’s willing to declare republicans terrorists. I’m not fuckin’ joking here; the republican party at this point deserves to be declared a terrorist organization and are an active threat to democracy.
There are other social media platforms out there, where anyone who is disabled could easily use to get crowdfunding.
Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Change.org, Tumblr, Snapchat, TikTok, and hell, even fucking DeviantArt.
Don’t forget Newgrounds.

or Reddit, and i think mastodon is getting some traction from people switiching over from twitter.
Shit, you’re right. I comepletely forgot about those two—especially Reddit.
I guess you could use other platforms for disability mutual aid but we don’t hear about those cases as we do for Twitter in terms of scale.
Smaller scale or not, they have the potential to cope with what Twitter handles. The platform has already gone to shit before Musk took over, and under him, it’s likely only either going to succeed or fail incredibly, and considering how it’s going now, it’s going to fail before being completely remade in a way that could very well be different from both Twitter under Musk and Twitter before Musk.
I am speaking for myself on this one, because I, myself, am mentally disabled. And frankly, speaking as someone who is mentally disabled, myself, the neurodivergent zoomer and gen alpha
You ever think about the white Republican who tried to post the, “as a gay black man” excuse but forgot to change accounts? I think about that sometimes.
Then you’re an even better practitioner of self-deception than I thought, because it actually is the case that I have a mental disability, and one that is compounded by others, at that.
High functioning autism, heavy ADD/ADHD, and (now well-managed) OCD. That’s me.
Or maybe you just want to remain in denial about it, convincing yourself that I am actually lying about it, every step of the way, even though I am not?
this irrelevant response that you just brought up completely out of left-field, set it on fire, and throw it straight into the garbage bin where it belongs.
Such hostility. Since when did I bring up an irrelevant response? I thought we were on the topic of why Twitter should stay up, being used as a platform for disabled mutual aid.
Even if it had something to do with Twitter, I know for a fact that you did bring out of left-field, because:
-nowhere did I ever mention anything about people with disabilities using that website, to begin with,
-and more importantly, this is more likely than not quite possibly an attempt to be contrary to me, simply because my stance on how Twitter doesn’t deserve to exist for how full of shit it has become, and the utterly negative impact it has on us as a society and culturally-speaking dosen’t seem to fit right in to your worldview, even though you, being a extremely stringintely amolst-self-described authoritarian hardcore socialist and total anti-capitalist, would’ve supposedly have zero rationale to defend a private corporation
All of which is why it seems to me that you attempted to utilize an argument you pulled out of left-field that’s based entirely in actual inconsequential whataboutism to manipulate the conversation for your own convenience. Which is anything but appreciated.
