ALL of this is exactly right. Far too often ‘participation’ actually means ‘finding audiences’. Access needs to be access to create, not access to be more bums on seats. (Hence, obv, @funpalaces.bsky.social)

As some feel that moving away from twitter will reduce their ability to interact with similar organisations, let's do what we can to connect the industry in these uncertain and isolating times.
