All politicians and government agencies should do that. Why are they aiding people that want to destroy us, quite literally?

X should be banned. We don't need a fascist spewing platform in Europe.

And the only companies left are the media and publishers who embed X permanently in their websites. But they should have been the first to pull out of X. That says a lot about their thoughtlessness.

Many more should do this! Still surprised about how many institutions and organisations still insist on using this kind of social media...

I'm not sure why any company would be on X. Linking themselves with Muck can't be good for the brand.

X is irrelevant and obsolete; it's a platform where mostly morons, imbeciles and idiots hang out to complement each other's hatefulness while griping and whining about their woes

When big businesses quit X, that will have an impact. Hope more companies switch to Bluesky. So far, it is more civil with less disinformation bots.

All official bodies should leave X. Many people only visit that site because those bodies are there. It would be an important service to the Public if they were to leave it.

I left X a year ago and never looked back. I didn’t care about nazi trolls, but it became clear reach was being determined by how in line with the owner you are. Instead of getting lots of engagement, suddenly my posts just disappeared into a hidden bucket of non famous, non nazi, non payers.

I feel so much better after getting off of X. Everyone should take care of their health. There are bots on X trying to make you think Musk is replying to you or following you. He couldn't care less about your opinion.

Wait a minute, Elon Musk turns around the fortunes of X unexpectedly. X's value rebounded to $44bn, the same amount Musk paid for X's purchase.

UK government should have left ages ago, but they seem reluctant to give up their trolls. Seems they prefer to feed them than they do the disabled in the UK.
