After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X.

@eff una gran decisión

[amorpheus@kind.social]

@rozeboosje @eff I joined the fediverse because someone I valued very much posted on reddit that he will move here and if people wanted to be informed any further by him, they should follow. So I did. Never had an account on reddit, but for that guy, I was willing to sign up for social media for the first time.

I'm pretty sure your move will have an even larger impact. Thank you guys.

Lead by example, then people will follow.

@eff You...were still on Twitter?

[rickf@indieweb.social]

@eff Good move!

[linuxfiend@vmst.io]

@eff Welcome to 2023.

[jaime88@mstdn.party]

@eff I support this choice! Keep at it!

[technically_good@techhub.social]

@eff yeeeeeees!

[fubaroque@mastodon.social]

@eff You may want to talk about it on Twitter, but mentioning it here seems, ehm... unnecesary.

@eff I only had X for corporate contacts when everything else failed to contact companies for things and I decided to delete it the moment Donald Trump got endorsed and elected by Elon. Besides, Twitter has been shit in its last years and just got absolutely the worst when Elon took over. Nothing of worth was lost. I switched to Mastodon and never looked back. I just skipped BlueSky because it's the same shit as Twitter was.

[colin_mcmillen@piaille.fr]

@eff I have read the post thoroughly, searching for the reason you leave, and I've tried, but I really can't find any other reason that this?

[f4grx@chaos.social]

@eff at long last. But better late than never.

[myopinion@mas.to]

@eff X is a pit of Nazis.

[disorderlyf@todon.eu]

@eff Like I'm glad you're off it, best time to do it was yesterday but the best time is today and all that, but I was shocked to hear you hadn't already jumped ship.

[sloanlance@mastodon.social]

@eff
Your message is ambiguous. You say that the fight for users' digital rights is no longer happening on #TwitterX, but you don't elaborate. Why isn't the fight there? Is TwitterX finally a safe place or is it too far gone to be saved? I suspect the latter, but I hope you'd be more specific in your post.

[xs4me2@mastodon.social]

@eff

Overdue indeed (...), but better late than never...

[worldtravelerall7@mastodon.world]

@rozeboosje @eff

yes! exactly this
People who #Resist need to think more strategically about media

promote our own; grow our own

i used to see BTC repost his ex-twitter posts on bsky, like, Look what i said on that site where the conversations occur. i'll share it w/ you, too. 🤮

That is ass backwards! (honestly i don't think he read a single post trying to get him to stop. glad i'm here now)

let's promote the #Fediverse
let's promote #Mastodon
#BreakTheOligarchy ️

[worldtravelerall7@mastodon.world]

@eff I'm very happy to hear this. way to go This reminds me, i forgot to post a great video on this subject

[robbe_duesseldorf@mastodon.social]

@eff
A little late, but probably not too late.
