Leaving X.
German parties leaving, collectively, is more than a symbolic exit. It is a chance to reassess how and where political communication happens.
A platform’s relevance is not inherent. It is constructed through user behavior. And when influential users walk, the relevance begins to erode.

@claesdevreese One follow-on for newsrooms and fact-checkers is preserving traceability as political communication moves platforms: original quote, surrounding context, archived link, and what changed after migration. Otherwise the public record fragments faster than verification workflows can follow.

For days now, they've been treating me like a bot account just because I shared a news link.

@claesdevreese Iets voor de Nederlandse politieke partijen?

@claesdevreese The death of another right-wing platform beckons.
They all end like that, because the bargain is not fair or balanced: Right-wingers find their unity and identity signalling most potently through attacking left-wingers.
They don’t really agree on too much between themselves, so when the targets walk away there’s not much left to talk about, except maybe out-nazi each other, which just shifts the victims again.

@Pettet8 @claesdevreese 100% we are smarter for deleting our accounts from X

@claesdevreese Perhaps the obvious Nazi rebrand of Twitter years ago was the moment to claim moral clarity? It's like someone saying 1945 was the moment they realized Nazis shouldn't be supported, once Anne Frank was murdered. Symbolic? The years since Ai Wei Wei art was censored by Elon Musk are the years of continued direct support of overt Nazism, boosting the Swastika. https://www.flyingpenguin.com/twitters-x-design-based-on-nazi-swastika/

@claesdevreese @trending That is a wonderful thing to see. I wish American politicians would have the same courage of conviction.

Also cf: Myspace. Networks decay slowly, then hit a tipping point and collapse.

@atlovato @claesdevreese Can we than state that those not deleting their accounts on X are less smart?

@claesdevreese The same should happen in Finland as well.
