Stepping back from X is a brave and important step by @indivisibleteam - with a characteristically thoughtful essay on their reasoning.
Hope to see more follow suit!

Our movement was born online. It grew thanks to the reach that Twitter afforded us.
But the Twitter we knew is largely gone. This dangerous cesspool of hate and disinformation is bad for progressive organizing.
So we've decided to step back from "X." โ๏ธ indivisibleteam.medium.com/wโฆ

Weโre not worried about our ability to reach voters and have meaningful conversations without Twitter/"X." It might be a bit more difficult, but it will be worth it.
Please join us in building community on alternative spaces: indivisibleteam.medium.com/wโฆ

When trusted voices begin to leave this platform en-masse, "X" will lose its appeal, pull as a source of real-time information, and remaining legitimacy with policymakers and regular users. Weโll phase down original content to a minimum to prevent "X" from seizing our account.

However much effort we put into creating content that informs voters ahead of elections, itโs all being downranked in favor of misinformation from purchased checkmarks and Elon Musk replying โaccurateโ to a tweet claiming George Soros is a Lizard God-King turning everything gay.

Muskโs outburst scapegoating Jews for the decline of "X" in September was an inflection point, accelerating internal discussions about our continued participation in a platform that not only allows such hate speech, but rewards, amplifies, and issues it from its C-suite.

Musk's platform has become a megaphone for a bigoted and conspiratorial billionaire, propped up by a subscription scheme that amplifies the voices of transphobes and white nationalists who agree with him and muzzle his critics.

Since purchasing Twitter/"X," Elon Musk has uplifted accounts that target LGBTQ people for harassment, spread transphobia and antisemitism, re-verified violent white supremacists, and dabbled with dangerous โGreat Replacementโ rhetoric.

If you want Elon Musk to keep central control over your social media:
Stay on Twitter.
...
If you want to have control over your social media:
Join the millions already on decentralised social

You all laugh, but Musk has repeatedly shown that he's able to increase membership and traffic for a social media site ten-fold
Granted, it's not a site he actually owns, but still

I fled from Twitter in November. Coming back today just long enough to urge y'all to move on over to decentralized, non-commercialized Mastodon. Hope to see you there!
Given #TwitterDown & #RateLimitExceeded nonsense: if you are looking for a better social home - We built out this tool to make joining #Mastodon seemless and simple! Share to any friends looking to jump that still have 600 reads left today!

High praise here: we built this site for days like this. If you are looking to find a better social home than this #godforsakenhellscape of Twitter, try here as the onramp you might be looking for. #TakeBackSocial

If you are already using the @vivaldibrowser and you have a Vivaldi account, joining #Mastodon is easy. You can log in on Vivaldi Social using your Vivaldi.net login. No further sign up is needed.

For me the best way to access #Mastodon is in my browser. @vivaldibrowser comes with a Vivaldi Social panel, but it is easy to add any Mastodon server into a panel as well. Try it out!
If you are stuck on Twitter, you can add a panel for that as well!

I appreciate every one of you here and the connections we have made.
After being able to do nothing here yesterday, I spent some time on my backup at Mastodon.
If you are there, please look me up
Love you all ๐
