RE: Column (timely for Digital Independence Day): Europe wants to make itself less vulnerable to blackmail and stand up to the US. So why are virtually all heads of state posting statements on X, a toxic US platform that exposes children and violates European law? #LeaveX #EU #Germany #Democracy #digitalsovereignty #digitalindependenceday #X #diday View quoted note →
Since @npub1ltke...w7z8 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. (Books and hat not included.) #Plushtodon #LeaveX #Mastodon image

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? (This is an automatic translation into Polish using DeepL. We kindly ask for a review from our Polish collaborators.) Cc @npub1afml...5gp4 #LeaveX #Polska #Poland
RE: 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! #LeaveX #Sweden #OpenSource image
