Must-read if you’re disabled and on social networks. This is why I won’t join Post.

This (from that article)…

Disabled people need social media platforms that expose politicians, government officials, management in business and non-profit sectors, academics, policymakers, and journalists to disability culture and priorities. Disabled people also want platforms that amplify their individual work beyond the disability community, and effectively boost their creative, business, and career opportunities.

…is not something that any social media system offers, it’s a result of a good social media system that people want to use, which in turn brings in those people mentioned above. And Twitter didn’t become that over night or over months…It took years and years and it took people making Twitter THE preferred system which in turn brought in the journos, politicians, and so on.

I mention this because if this is a Must Have, there will never be a Twitter replacement, at least for the next several years.
