Something a little different for this week’s article - a guide to the Twitter/X exodus from a disability and chronic illness point of view.

People are leaving the site in droves - whether because of changing privacy and data policies or in protest of Musk and Trump’s increasingly fascist and problematic behaviour.

What happens to the disability community who’ve long relied on that app for support, friendship and connection? People who are sick can’t migrate to a new platform as easily as their non-disabled counterparts.

How can we help people find community elsewhere? How can we ensure the transition takes as few spoons as possible?

Most importantly - how can we ensure no one gets left behind?
