It felt so horrid to be chased out of places, one was an amino where they had a space for controversial topics and I was discussing it there and the mods kicked me out of the chat and gave me a warning. So I left because I felt unwanted.I had a huge NSSI meltdown over it as it was a very dear space, I was there for years, I tried so hard to be kind and help people and met lots of good friends. I was even a mod at one point and they liked me, I hate how quickly they turned on me. I still miss it now and trying to make my own space but it’s not going well.I feel lonely online now, and mobility is getting harder so that’s making social more difficult, and at work sometimes I feel like it’s hard to talk to people. Anti just makes no sense to me, it seems hypocritical and nasty and counter productive. Art shouldn’t be a crime.
Anon, I am so sorry that that happened to you.
Online socialization is so, so important for so many of use that are homebound. It’s another dimension of antis ableism that that is something they don’t even take into account.
I hope you can find a space online where you feel wanted and where you belong.
