“right-wing populist content, hate speech and disinformation.”
Good to see more institutions leave, and hopefully encourages others to follow!
For those looking to switch, BlueSky (bsky.app) or Mastodon (cupoftea.social) are good options.
Surely they will learn from their mistakes and want to be in control of their own data, instead of just switching to another centralized platform they have no control over?
Two of the three parties have set up their own Mastodon instances years ago (grüne.social and social.linksfraktion.de respectively).
The Left is also present at @dielinke@mastodon.social
And even high ranking SPD politicians are active on the Fediverse (@eskensaskia@mastodon.social for example)
They are going to be present on closed platforms, because like it or not (and for the record I don’t) that’s where a large part of voters is, but the Fediverse plays an active part in their social media strategies.
Yes. I mean yes to both parts of that sentence. That’s exactly what they’ll do.
They want to do a, but instead do b. Like a true politician.
Under these definitions, Bluesky and ATProto are not meaningfully decentralized, and are not federated either.
No it’s SPD. They have shit for brains unfortunately
Terminal boomer brain…
For those looking to switch, BlueSky (bsky.app) […] good options.
Hell no. Wtf. Don’t be as stupid as the german politicians moving from one problem to the next one. Use Mastodon.
The worst joke is that most of these parties have a fediverse presence, often even their own servers. The same is true for the EU btw…
But they just collectively decided to give a fuck (the EU even topped this by running fediverse stuff for years then ending the test phase with "it works well and easy… but none-the-less be can’t be bothered to keep it up anyway).
What took them so long??
The illusion of reach.
It’s almost unbelievable. All it took was nearly 170,000 signatures from concerned citizens.
It’s just a shame that the German federal government doesn’t care at all about its citizens and continues to use this fascist platform. But hey, what can you really expect from them…
One would think the Nazi salutes would’ve done the trick, what with their laws and all.
German politicians don’t give a shit about the law, and typically get away with it, though.
Why would the leading government party shy away from fascists when right-wing populism, culture war and cuddling up with fascists is all they do anyway.
Their active presence on basically any other platform would be a fucking clown show because there people would actually speak up against their bullshit constantly.
For the SPD’s account, this is already the second withdrawal from X; it had been reactivated before the federal election.
Let’s see how long it holds this time.
Took them a while. By now it has descended from chaos into deeper chaos, I guess.
Also “Chaos” really is a euphemism here.
Good news! Grown men billionaires who act like 14 year old nazi’s should always fail!
Better late than never.
