@claesdevreese The death of another right-wing platform beckons. They all end like that, because the bargain is not fair or balanced: Right-wingers find their unity and identity signalling most potently through attacking left-wingers. They don’t really agree on too much between themselves, so when the targets walk away there’s not much left to talk about, except maybe out-nazi each other, which just shifts the victims again.

@claesdevreese @trending That is a wonderful thing to see. I wish American politicians would have the same courage of conviction.

@claesdevreese Perhaps the obvious Nazi rebrand of Twitter years ago was the moment to claim moral clarity? It's like someone saying 1945 was the moment they realized Nazis shouldn't be supported, once Anne Frank was murdered. Symbolic? The years since Ai Wei Wei art was censored by Elon Musk are the years of continued direct support of overt Nazism, boosting the Swastika.

About time. Fun coincidence: visiting the Bundestag the day before these announcements I talked with coms representatives from both Die Grünen & Die Linke. We specifically discussed why their accounts had no clear "exit statements" on Twitter/X. I now wonder how many more people had this conversation! @claesdevreese

@claesdevreese Communication platforms that are operated with a focus on maximising profit and not caring on how toxic it is to people in doing so are REALLY not where political parties should be communicating I feel.

@claesdevreese Elon's thumb is so firmly on the scale when it comes to promoting the far right on X, the only meaningful way anyone to the left of Pinochet can really impact the discourse there to leave en masse in a very public way. Journalists, politicians, government bodies and media institutions that view themselves as apolitical need to follow suit as they lend undeserved credibility to a platform and people who would see them burm.

@claesdevreese For days now, they've been treating me like a bot account just because I shared a news link.

@claesdevreese Also cf: Myspace. Networks decay slowly, then hit a tipping point and collapse.

@claesdevreese Twitter/Shitter/X was a garbage fire long before Musk took it over.... and all it's got is worse and worse and worse. It's not relevant now? Here's the open secret, it never was. Good riddance to all billionaire owned, algorithm driven, grifting, "social media"

@claesdevreese The same should happen in Finland as well.

@claesdevreese Don't just stop posting there. Delete your accounts fullstop.

@claesdevreese @noodlemaz Right decision, but what keeps me skeptical is the fact that they had left X before, only to return for the last election campaign, and that key politicians from their parties keep their personal accounts (with ludicrous arguments).
