Electronic Frontier FoundationAfter 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. 🧵 (1/5)

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)
Pino Carafa@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.
Amorpheus@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.
BillSame except for someone formerly on Xitter.
