black people are actual refugees from virtual spaces like twitter, as are queer people...
as the language landscape changes, so does language usage. and this whole notion of trying to police speech in such a way is bit too prescriptive for me tbh. it may be a virtual home but it is still a home in a very real sense where real connections and community are made, so the word refugee definitely applies.
