I’ve written to @alexandrageese and to Veronika Cifrová Ostrihoňová with concrete suggestions, Mastodon and Open Portability, in response to their recent letter on the crisis of X.

Dear Alexandra Geese and Veronika Cifrová Ostrihoňová,

Thank you for your strong and timely letter addressing the ongoing crisis on X.

Your assessment is clear: X is no longer a safe, open or balanced platform for democratic debate. Your arguments closely align with those set out in our Open Letter to All European Politicians and Leaders to Abandon X/Twitter, which was published over a year ago and has been endorsed by more than three thousand people across Europe.

In your letter, you rightly identify two structural problems that prevent millions of Europeans from leaving X: the perceived lack of viable alternatives and the absence of simple, user-friendly portability mechanisms. I would like to draw your attention to two concrete solutions that already exist and can be adopted immediately.

I have summarised these below, including the European Commission’s official Mastodon infrastructure and an existing, research-based portability solution.

We still have nearly 60% of Members of the European Parliament are still active on X. I hope these solutions will support your efforts and help turn the current momentum into concrete action.

With kind regards,

Everton Zanella Alvarenga
