   Looks like @wikimediafoundation is at least pausing its use of X "for now".

   Now would be a good time for additional #Wikimedia chapters to explicitly exit X (and why not Meta, while you're at it :-) to keep the momentum going.

     @eloquence @wikimediafoundation Thanks -- I did find this list which is out of date but may be a good jumping off point for people who don't have X accounts who want to know who is on there in the Wikimedia space.

     @jessamyn @wikimediafoundation

     Good question. I think Wikimedia-l is probably still a decent place to reach folks affiliated with many different orgs:

     https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/wikimedia-l.lists.wikimedia.org/

     Individual affiliates also often have their own lists, many of which can be found here:

     But I'm not very involved these days - maybe other Wikimedia folks seeing this thread have other suggestions for places that are more likely to reach the right folks, or to have good/constructive vibes.

     @eloquence @wikimediafoundation Thanks for sharing this. Are there good places to meaningfully and constructively engage with the other chapters to encourage them to exit X?
