Leaving X.
German parties leaving, collectively, is more than a symbolic exit. It is a chance to reassess how and where political communication happens.
A platform’s relevance is not inherent. It is constructed through user behavior. And when influential users walk, the relevance begins to erode.

They all end like that, because the bargain is not fair or balanced: Right-wingers find their unity and identity signalling most potently through attacking left-wingers.
