This is our most shared post since the start of our campaign. We appeal to all European politicians and leaders to abandon X/Twitter.

Oh we have the same wish @EUCommission

I think it'd be a powerful move if you deleted your X account (a platform that has become a vector of misinformation and a cesspool of hate).

By the way, your homepage states: "Follow us on" followed by the icons of Facebook, X and LinkedIn. I always found it odd, since those are algorithm-based U.S. companies and you are the EUROPEAN Commission. How about putting your Mastodon icon on your homepage?

Thank you for your consideration

You feed the monster. Monster gains strength. You cut off the supply of food, oxygen, water. Monster grows weak, withers and dies.

Now tell me again how do we handle rogue far right media outlets governed by megalomaniacs?

Why does supplying content, engagement and revenue to them equal furthering their cause and strengthening them? I want the public to know who the actors are that feed the monster. I want the public to know when they cast their votes.

Now tell me how do we handle rogue foreign owned far right media governed by megalomaniacs?

Why does supplying content, engagement and revenue to them equal furthering their cause and strengthening them? Advertising their logo for free?

Why do we feed the monster?

Thanks to @zollak, we updated the status of ten MEPs! Now, we have 421 more politicians to persuade to leave X, which is a decrease from 60% to 59%.

Can we get that number below 50% before spring?

Contact the MEPs using our tool https://leavex.eu/politicians/

We should keep track of how many politicians left X by either stating it or deleting their accounts.

P. S. here is the code with these latest changes https://github.com/everton137/leavex-tools/commit/d49dd70bd97349adc813ddae0f5982bdddcb97bf

"These actors either lack awareness or are amoral"

"In their current cost/benefit analysis, there’s benefit, but no cost."

"They think they’re communicating with 'their audience', but they’re communicating with an amoral elite, with trolls and with bots."

There are about 36 days left for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to shut down the @CanadianPM X/Twitter account. Mr Trudeau, stop clapping and waiving at the fascist in the gallery. #canpoli #leavex https://mastodon.online/@ZebKing/113913380438987656

We’ve redefined how the statistics are calculated. From now on, only politicians with an X account are counted. We’ve also updated the wording from “inactive” to “exited”.

If a MEP has an X account and hasn’t publicly stated that they left, they are considered active. Only MEPs who delete their account or explicitly announce they are leaving X are counted as out of X.

There are still 418 MEPs (58%) to go

Since @everton137 has been awarding Members of the European Parliament who successfully persuade their colleagues to leave X, this idea is being expanded.

Now, this award goes to anyone who sends great emails or takes initiatives that help convince MPs from any European Parliament to leave X. Please, register it somewhere online.

Bonus points if you help them switch to the #Fediverse 😉

Full rules coming soon on the Leave X website.

"Last week, the Province of New Brunswick announced it would no longer use X (...), for any official government communications, citing concerns over harmful content and inadequate safeguards. The City of Fredericton also stopped using X after a city survey showed that fewer and fewer residents were still on the platform.

When will the Canadian government follow New Brunswick’s lead and stop relying on X for official communications with Canadians?"

Today, Amnesty International have shared their report into X's part in the UK 'Race Riots' last year.

Unsurprisingly, their findings highlighted that the design choices within X contributed to spreading of false claims and ultimately the violence we saw across the UK last year against Muslims and migrants following the murder of three young girls.

Please, take a look at the report here and share it with your friends who still, solely, use X.
