For those ~500 new followers in the last week, here is our main reasoning why the argument that you have to stay on social networks to provide opposition is complete nonsense

 If you agree, please share. This is mainly for those of you who still have or know of representatives on X, whatever their reason may be. #LeaveX #HateSpeech #BigTech
Thanks to @npub1mh7u...668x, we updated the status of three Austrian MPs who eXited: - Elisabeth Götze - Barbara Neßler - Bernhard Höfler There are still 29 more to go, but Austria is moving towards having no members of parliament who use X! ✊ #LeaveX #Austria #Österreich #eXit image
Dlaczego argument, że trzeba pozostać w sieciach społecznościowych, aby stanowić opozycję, jest kompletną bzdurą?
Zostaw X - chroń demokrację

Dziś w #OkoPress pytam polską klasę polityczną o to, co musiałby Grok zrobić, by wreszcie z Xittera zrezygnowali https://oko.press/polskie-in...
 The #LeaveX campaign on #OkoPress. Świetnie. 🙂 #Poland View quoted note →
Only 17% of Austrian MPs are still on X. Compare that to Sweden, 66%, the Netherlands, 63%, and the EU, 58%, that gap is striking. Finland is often cited as a leader in digital literacy and counter-disinformation. It makes me curious how Finnish politicians assess X today, as a neutral platform, or as an active disinformation risk. Which European country will be the first to seriously lead by example and walk away from this disinformation machine? #X #disinformation #Finland #LeaveX
Grassroots political groups, parties, and democratic institutions across Europe are already active on the Fediverse. So why are so many elected representatives still giving attention and legitimacy to the disinformation platform X, whose goal is to undermine democracies? Official Mastodon servers exist. Pixelfed exists. A healthier public debate is right there. Where are their communication teams, and why are they ignoring this public space? #LeaveX #Democracy #Politics #Europe #Fediverse
Thanks to @npub192rr...qukq, we now have the data from the Swedish Parliament (Riksdagen). We have 230 of 349 MPs are active on X (66%). You can already contact them!

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

Ralph Schallmeiner, a member of the Austrian parliament, emailed to inform us that his X account was deleted nearly two weeks ago. From 19% to 18% still on X. Now, 33 MPs in Austria still need to leave X. #LeaveX #Austria
