"This type of privilege politics, built on shaming people into inaction, is not how you build a movement. It doesn’t build momentum, it shuts it down. It doesn’t inspire people, it shuts them down. Shame is a feeling that does nothing but disempower people, which is the exact opposite of our goal—building power, together."

Twitter was not bad because "hashtags this" or "trends that". Twitter was bad because:

2. They forced you to ID yourself with a phone number.
3. They hand your data to third party companies.
4. Most governments were using it to ID people saying bad things about them.
5. Ads and corporative campaigns.

GitBook costs, but offers a not-for-profit free option.

#Alternatives

After living in the city for a few years I completely understand why people want to move far the fuck away from society and never come back.

I really thought searching "white on black vs black on white" would return a ton of useful info on the accessibility of text on backgrounds.

Nope. Don't type those words into a search engine unless you're looking for very racially specific porn.
