Ja, es ist spät dafür. Aber ich bin sehr froh, dass meine journalistische Lieblingsgenossenschaft jetzt diesen Schritt gegangen ist.
Danke, liebe @riffreporter. Jetzt brauchen wir nur noch ein paar mehr Nachahmer aus dem Medienbetrieb.
Happy to share my last #academic paper, published on New Media & Society and authored with Nate Tkacz and Fangzhou Zhang about our #research on #twittermigration #Xodus

A group of researchers at France's CNRS public research body have developed an app to help users migrate from X to other platforms. The "HelloQuitX" campaign (a play on "Hello Kitty," since the letter Q sounds like K and X is pronounced "eeks" in French) allows users to transfer the lists of people they follow and their followers to Bluesky or Mastodon. The CNRS says it will delete personal information after migration. David Chavalarias, a mathematician at CNRS, says more than 5,000 people and organizations have signed up so far. Here's more from France 24.
I just deactivated 7 different accounts on X / Twitter. Felt good. #Xodus
We're ready to help anyone who wants to join New Social in the face of a Trump presidency.
We believe in social media that puts community first, protecting fact and preventing hatred. Not social media that plays to politics.
New Social is where we reconnect and grow, no matter which platform - one united community looking for better social media.
If there are any major movements from X or Meta, we'll let you know here.
