2) Disengagement with X is begining across multiple agencies in Ireland. The #GreenParty is leading the way

More political leaders need to make the move to the #EUTechStack. For micro blogging #Mastodon is a no brainer

Forsaking X while growing presence across multiple centralized services is an alternative which can be facilitated by a cross platform posting tool. Imperfect but better than supporting the Musk sewer

1) The big question for any #Irish or #EU political party is why any of them are still on #X ?

Why would any political party opposed to #billionaire capture of #SocialMedia platforms post anywhere other than a decentralized platform?

The toxic #SiliconValley stack can be escaped. #Mastodon is an obvious exit ramp, based in #Europe. Why aren’t all elected officials there?

The #NewsMedia will follow

As concerns rise over Grok, only one political party has stopped using Elon Musk's X

X has faced sustained criticism because some people are using Grok to remove clothing from real people with a new tool called 'edit image'
