@Bibliothecaris Thanks for making this choice! Let's hope all faculties and UG services will follow suit and leave X for this site (or bluesky) soon

@Bibliothecaris well done! that is such a hard step to take.
i'm trying to persuade @alliancebioversityciat to be equally courageous, given the misinformation and hate on X.
I do understand that it's hard to move, but on the other hand, for a values-based organization...

@Bibliothecaris exactly why I left, also after 14 years. In my case, I left after seeing who he fired. Twitters value isn’t code or servers. It was the very people he fired in the first week. I don’t take well to fascists.

@Bibliothecaris Welcome!

I hope you find your place here and are welcomed appropriately.

Do you have a press release, or announcement on your website or similar?

(I'm currently trying to convince my org to do similar, and so all the additional evidence I can gather that this is the direction organisations are taking would be very useful!)
