I’m leaving X.
I joined this platform in 2010, back when it was a space for real conversations, real connections, and real change. Over the years, I’ve used this space to amplify Black liberation, LGBTQ rights, and fight for justice—loudly and unapologetically.
No platform is perfect, and we’ve seen challenges across all social media spaces. But the X of today is not the platform I signed up for. It has become a breeding ground for hate, disinformation, and the silencing of marginalised voices. Black and LGBTQ activists have been shadowbanned, harassed, and deplatformed, while misinformation thrives. Twitter’s own files confirmed ‘visibility filtering’—a form of shadowbanning—has been used to suppress voices, with Black and LGBTQ activists reporting lower reach, hidden tweets, and blocked hashtags. The platform once used to drive movements is now actively working against them.
The dismantling of content moderation has allowed hate speech to run rampant, while those calling out oppression are punished for speaking truth. I refuse to stay in a space that actively works against the very voices it once helped to uplift.
After nearly 15 years, it’s time to move on. The fight for equity, justice, and liberation doesn’t stop—it just finds new spaces to thrive.
I’m now on Bluesky, where community, truth, and resistance still have room to breathe. If you’re there, come through. Let’s keep building.
