“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.
