Twitter was never a utopia. We've criticized the platform for about as long as it's been around. Still, Twitter did deserve recognition from time to time for vociferously fighting for its users' rights. That changed. (2/5)
EFF exists to protect people's digital rights. Not just the people who already value our work, have opted out of surveillance, or have already migrated to the fediverse. The people who need us most are often the ones most embedded in the walled gardens of the mainstream platforms. (3/5)

Our continued presence on other platforms like Facebook and TikTok is not an endorsement. We stay because the people there deserve access to info, too. We stay because the fewer steps between you and the resources you need to protect yourself, the better. (4/5)
When you go online, your rights should go with you. X is no longer where the fight is happening. Our work protecting digital rights is needed more than ever before, and we’re here to help you take back control. https://eff.org/donate (5/5)

It feels like those who are most likely to follow an organization like EFF on X have mostly departed X for other alternatives (be that Fedi, Threads, BSKY or elsewhere). -

@eff consider redirecting folks from there to the #Fediverse…

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/eff-leaving-x@eff now lobby local and state governments to do the same.
When I get an amber or silver alert from my police department on my phone I shouldn't get a pop up that covers the information as soon as the page loads. I shouldn't need an x.com account to read the information in the comments.

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/eff-leaving-x@eff It's way overdue, TBH, for you and others. But still appreciate you doing it at all.

I never understood why you guys stayed at the nazi bar so long after it was apparent to everyone that it was a nazi bar... but better late than never.

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/eff-leaving-x@eff Quite a few years later than I'd have liked, but still glad to see it.

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/eff-leaving-x@eff It's a shame since Twitter was such a big part of my fandom years and early internet years. I hate seeing Twitter die but it needs to happen. I hope a combination of fediverse, ATProto, and RSS can fill the void.

@eff Good, and I see your point. But l would also suggest that, while you're still on such platforms, you also heavily promote "follow us on Mastodon". Every little bit helps.
