EFF is Leaving X

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue.

@Voline Fortunately, checking the EFF social media accounts has not been part of my job in many, many years.

Congratulations to whichever poor staffer you've got on social media duty like the kid from Omelas.

@Voline The person who runs our social media is an absolute treasure and they must be protected at all costs.

If you have a rational social media person who can survive the turmoil of Twitter you have a unicorn. 🦄

Twitter was my first social media site, but I had to leave shortly after Elon Musk took it over. It had been going downhill but that was just too far.

Disagreeing with me I can handle, but repeatedly doing the equivalent of trying to convince me that the moon is made of Swiss cheese was just not worth the effort( for me).
