Lady Phyll, a renowned lesbian activist and CEO of UK Black Pride, has decided to leave Twitter/X, citing the platform's proliferation of hate speech and its role in suppressing marginalized voices. Since joining in 2010, she has advocated for Black liberation and LGBTQ+ rights, but now believes that the site's deterioration has made it unsafe for activists. As she transitions to Bluesky, which enforces stricter anti-harassment policies, she emphasizes that the fight for equity and justice continues, albeit in a different space.
I refuse to stay in a space that actively works against the very voices it once helped to uplift.
The dismantling of content moderation has allowed hate speech to run rampant, while those calling out oppression are punished for speaking truth.
