All politicians and government agencies should do that. Why are they aiding people that want to destroy us, quite literally?

gmg8.bsky.social•102 days ago

Keep up the pressure. We are counting on the world to help us end Trump/Musk!

fredrikblue.bsky.social•102 days ago

So nice to hear.

madmichbe.bsky.social•102 days ago

X should be banned. We don't need a fascist spewing platform in Europe.

fotografie.bsky.social•102 days ago

And the only companies left are the media and publishers who embed X permanently in their websites. But they should have been the first to pull out of X. That says a lot about their thoughtlessness.

my2000things.bsky.social•102 days ago

Those links can be very easily removed, they are just choosing not to.

unlimitedflutes.bsky.social•102 days ago

Many more should do this! Still surprised about how many institutions and organisations still insist on using this kind of social media...

miriamkapner.bsky.social•102 days ago

Agreed! If all the big organizations left it would actually be noticeable…

Better late then never

ayahuascashaman.bsky.social•102 days ago

I'm not sure why any company would be on X. Linking themselves with Muck can't be good for the brand.

symenc.bsky.social•102 days ago

Why is anyone on there? It’s
truth Social with Truth Social crossed out and X written in with crayon.

samsonlj.bsky.social•102 days ago

👏👏👏👏👏. I love Belgium!!! Wonderful people, beautiful country!

misskrisss.bsky.social•102 days ago

Thank you!!!

1oldlady.bsky.social•102 days ago

Hope they know about Bluesky

mgielen.bsky.social•102 days ago

Good news. Quitting X is a way better thing to do than vandalizing Tesla cars.

Homer Simpson
to Elon Musk:
"Whatever you do,
don't give Nazi salutes,
or it will hurt your
car sales."
Musk:
"I already did."
Homer"
"D'oh!"

our local city council in Canada did too. https://vocm.com/2025/03/19/city-of-st-johns-taking-axe-to-x-social-media-accounts/

iamunknownuser.bsky.social•102 days ago

X is irrelevant and obsolete; it's a platform where mostly morons, imbeciles and idiots hang out to complement each other's hatefulness while griping and whining about their woes

cw-4.bsky.social•102 days ago

When big businesses quit X, that will have an impact. Hope more companies switch to Bluesky. So far, it is more civil with less disinformation bots.

biancamano.bsky.social•102 days ago

Many more to come I hear... in particular EU institutions 👍

jimmbuzz.bsky.social•102 days ago

All official bodies should leave X. Many people only visit that site because those bodies are there.
It would be an important service to the Public if they were to leave it.

kastero.bsky.social•102 days ago

Those companies that keep allowing their advertisement to be seen on X, may also feel the consequenses from the consumers and customers.

hmsgreengoose.bsky.social•102 days ago

Canada should outright ban X, imo.

just-a-hobbit.bsky.social•102 days ago

W erywhere but America making sense right now

remiparmentier.bsky.social•102 days ago

Why does Emmanuel Macron continue to use Musk's X? Why doesn't he use Agence France-Presse @afpfr.bsky.social instead? Incomprehensible.

clnz.bsky.social•102 days ago

Every time X is banned, the world has less right-wing garbage floating around.

tommfi.bsky.social•102 days ago

A thousand cuts.

natnewscot.bsky.social•102 days ago

There will be more.

chasfitz.bsky.social•102 days ago

What took them so long?

yozootoo.bsky.social•102 days ago

I left X a year ago and never looked back. I didn’t care about nazi trolls, but it became clear reach was being determined by how in line with the owner you are. Instead of getting lots of engagement, suddenly my posts just disappeared into a hidden bucket of non famous, non nazi, non payers.

Better late than never I guess🤷🏾‍♀️

agora01619.bsky.social•102 days ago

Bravo, #Europe👏🏾👏🏾

patfrank60.bsky.social•102 days ago

I feel so much better after getting off of X. Everyone should take care of their health. There are bots on X trying to make you think Musk is replying to you or following you. He couldn't care less about your opinion.

qabinofblue.bsky.social•102 days ago

Turns out people everywhere appreciate reliability & fairness.

kezhall.bsky.social•102 days ago

👏👏🏽👏🏼👏🏿

oliver-peace.bsky.social•102 days ago

This is what I call respecting their commuters. No one need to be forced to see Musk propaganda, lies or conspiracy theories to create divisions and hate across the world. I hope others will follow this example

kashd.bsky.social•102 days ago

Wait a minute, Elon Musk turns around the fortunes of X unexpectedly. X's value rebounded to $44bn, the same amount Musk paid for X's purchase.

teuskat.bsky.social•102 days ago

YES STOP FEEDING THE BEAST!

denissurette.bsky.social•102 days ago

Create the vacuum it deserves

elthampug.bsky.social•102 days ago

@serailway.bsky.social why you still on X?

wjb64.bsky.social•102 days ago

Keep Going.

mr-blogberry.bsky.social•102 days ago

UK government should have left ages ago, but they seem reluctant to give up their trolls.
Seems they prefer to feed them than they do the disabled in the UK.
