Petition to Ban Platform X (formerly Twitter) in the EU
The presence of X within the EU:
• Threatens the integrity of the EU – supporting extremist movements that aim to destabilize member states.
• Acts as a tool for disinformation and propaganda – exploited by foreign powers, including Russia, to weaken European democracies.
• Enables extremist groups to gain political influence, raising the risk of democratic regression in Europe.
Warum müssen der @Bundeskanzler und andere Politikerinnen und Politiker weiter auf X posten.
Geht endlich da weg. #xodus
Ein Nachruf für Gerhart Baum auf dieser Plattform ist höchst unangemessen!
I am only 3 minutes into this video by @fedihost and can already tell you its good.
In case you missed it: #Debian is no longer posting on Elon’s Twitter/X. I just saw it yesterday
Social media has changed. The town square is no longer a place for everyone.
That's why we've posted physical 'X-scape' kits to leading voices at charities, media orgs and universities.
Early adoption of New Social is a great opportunity for the UK's leading institutions and we hope to help them catch up with many of the European organisations who have already turned to open social media.

A group of researchers at France's CNRS public research body have developed an app to help users migrate from X to other platforms. The "HelloQuitX" campaign (a play on "Hello Kitty," since the letter Q sounds like K and X is pronounced "eeks" in French) allows users to transfer the lists of people they follow and their followers to Bluesky or Mastodon. The CNRS says it will delete personal information after migration. David Chavalarias, a mathematician at CNRS, says more than 5,000 people and organizations have signed up so far. Here's more from France 24.
I just deactivated 7 different accounts on X / Twitter. Felt good. #Xodus
We're ready to help anyone who wants to join New Social in the face of a Trump presidency.
We believe in social media that puts community first, protecting fact and preventing hatred. Not social media that plays to politics.
New Social is where we reconnect and grow, no matter which platform - one united community looking for better social media.
If there are any major movements from X or Meta, we'll let you know here.
"The French Human Rights League (LDH) and the National Centre for Scientific Research (#CNRS) cofounded the collective “#HelloQuitteX,” which is now supported by a group of 86 unions and organisations that pledge to no longer post any content on X because the algorithms “favour the proliferation of hateful content and conspiracy theories,” according to a press release on theirwebsite. "
"More than 60 German and Austrian academic organizations say they will leave the messaging platform X owned by Elon Musk. The German government has also voiced fears that the platform is warping political discourse.
On Thursday, the trade unions GEW, which represents educators and teachers, and Verdi announced they were deleting their X presence, as did the Federal Court of Justice (BGH)."

@mho I wonder if it would help people to not be stuck on platforms they want to abandon to create a migration-intention-platform. In it you would enter platforms you want to leave and where you want to go (all encrypted and anonymized). then you could know when enough of your friends are ready and you do it together. basically, it makes something invisible visible: the desire to move. #foss #SocialNetwork #eXit #Xodus
post above for more visibility.
