    We’re leaving X.

    Not for clicks.
    Not for politics.
    For safety, democracy and basic responsibility.

    We won’t stay on a platform that fails children, enables deepfake abuse and fuels disinformation.

    But this is not an exit from the conversation.
    It’s a move to better spaces.

    Come with us.

    @greenpartyni I’m a big Green Party fan and I try not to wade in and piss on others’ parades but continuing to use Meta platforms, and only leaving X now isn’t somthing to be celebrated…

            @greenpartyni Now ditch Threads & Facebook.
            Zukerberg isn't much better than Musk, though smarter.

                @noodlemaz Yes. In the case of a thinking organisation, I do. Pressure works sometimes. Saying nothing is sometimes the wrong thing to do. We all have our lines.

                If it’s an individual I say nothing because we have to live in this shitty world and all of us - myself included - make compromises that we hate making. But where it’s an organisation that wants our support *because they are the ethical choice* then I’m going to say something…

                  I agree, would like to have seen party taking this stance on principle rather than optics. Looks as if all the racist, homophobic, misogynist and climate denying shit was okay. It's just the kiddy-fiddling they object to. @greenpartyni

                    @noodlemaz I’d also point out that the line from GPNI is effectively ‘X is now so bad we can’t stay’.

                    Really? It took the latest outrage? Really?

                        stay away from all corporate social media and stick to the fediverse. Build your own server that doesn't rely on any corporation.

                        meta is a fascist platform that supports genocide

                                @harri @noodlemaz sure - but they can frame it that way. Not - hey look: we don’t like paedophiles so we’re quitting X.

                                That’s just rubbish. After all - what’s the difference between X today and X pre-latest scandal? Or X and Bluesky, Threads, FB etc?

                                  @greenpartyni If it took you this long to get off X then it's not surprising that you are still on Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram and Threads. It's 2026 for God's sake. Are you not paying attention? Time to wake up! Stop being a collaborator.

                                    @noodlemaz @JimmyB maybe, but it's not that I shouldn't stop doing something I can't stand just because others continue to tolerate it.

                                      @harri @noodlemaz sure - but they can frame it that way. Not - hey look: we don’t like paedophiles so we’re quitting X.

                                      That’s just rubbish. After all - what’s the difference between X today and X pre-latest scandal? Or X and Bluesky, Threads, FB etc?

                                        @d10c4n3 @JimmyB @noodlemaz True, but also, a political organisation needs to reach their (potential) supporters. I suppose there might still be some left on Meta platforms, but not too many on X. I'm sure they wouldn't miss Meta if it just vanished overnight.

                                          We’re leaving X.

                                          Not for clicks.
                                          Not for politics.
                                          For safety, democracy and basic responsibility.

                                          We won’t stay on a platform that fails children, enables deepfake abuse and fuels disinformation.

                                          But this is not an exit from the conversation.
                                          It’s a move to better spaces.

                                          Come with us.

                                          @greenpartyni Good for the moment, folks - but your journey has only just begun.

                                          That journey is not just to oppose Elon's Grok Child Porn on his X Porn Thrower Platform - it's about a few more values:

                                          Stand up against commercial antisocial media platforms enshittifying the internet.
                                          Resist the attention industry's surveillance capitalism and targeted advertising.
                                          Refuse to become complicit by posting on their platforms and feeding the algorithm trolls.

                                          Stand by your own slogan: DEMOCRACY DESERVES BETTER !
