   Good to see that @creativecommons quietly discontinued their X account in November, focusing instead on Mastodon and #Bluesky.

   I hope we'll soon see more of the #Wikimedia movement do the same. A few chapters (notably Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland) have done so, but Wikimedia Foundation still maintains a very active presence on X, as do most chapters.

   Civil society must discontinue its presence on a platform that's become weaponized to promote hate and authoritarianism world-wide.

     @eloquence Also @wikimediaitalia seems to have quietly stopped posting (the last time was on 2024-12-19: https://archive.ph/TVLBC ). I've switched to RSS feeds as source in 2024-12-06: https://framapiaf.org/@wikimediaitalia/113606385158504964 .

     This marks a return to the origins: in 2008, the fediverse account was the primary location for microblogs and Twitter only got a copy.
