This is absolutely awesome!

What about leavex.ca?

I’d love if this also included members of Universities Canada.

I think the domain is available.

@randahl @leavex It's really depressing that most of the German politicians not on X are Fascists

@lexinova @reithose @Codeberg

I am hosting my personal website using @Codeberg

At the moment, the priority is improving the code and its data. But I consider this. Thanks for the suggestion.

@lexinova @reithose thanks a good suggestion, and that's one of the plans. :) I just didn't have time to implement this.

@leavex @reithose i already send an email with those 5 point (with some personal text between those point) to my country's representative :)

you can also use the :

Server : ec.social-network.europa.eu
An Politician from EU already there : https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@HennaVirkkunen

if they see an European Comission member is already here and active, it may help them to open an account here.

@randahl @leavex

I think everyone here hopes that leave X goes global.

(Pretty please also Meta, Microsoft and Amazon)

@randahl @leavex

Dann mal knapp 500 mails senden, he? Habe ich auch noch nie gemacht 😂

@GhostOnTheHalfShell In the US the younger ones can’t be bothered to deal with life without the ease of shopping with their fingertips and the older ones refuse to give up Facebook ‘cause they claim it’s the only way to stay abreast of their friends. It’s all BS. I remember when we did it with email, or even LETTERS! @randahl @leavex

@Gardenermerc @randahl @leavex

Yeah, we used to do it with bulletin boards. They’re all sorts of ways of keeping in touch that the major platforms have monopolized.

We need to rediscover the joy in the smol.

The chief factor working in favor of that is platform enshittification.

@randahl @leavex no government official should be on X unless they are a Musk supported criminal

@leavex @reithose Also maybe use an orange color for people that leave to X to bluesky, because they may leave X, but they do not fix the issue of censorship as bluesky is "the new twitter" and have the same issue that X have.

@randahl @leavex
Maybe below the leave x there should be a come to mastodon button?

@randahl @leavex

I support it but misinfo and hate are an inherent part of the internet. Of the ability for anyone to have a website.

The problem with corporate platforms (and mass media) is their ability to control attention. To decide lots of people should see the misinfo. Ultimately it means money can be turned into influence via ads, algos and owners deciding what gets aired.

Decentralized social media lets us decide together what gets attention. Trust the people. #DemocracyOfReach

@randahl
I'm glad politicians are leaving X, but I wish Mastodon was safer for minorities.

Unfortunately it will remain very "monochrome" until the abuse side is looked at more.

@roomey genuinely, where is safer for minorities than Mastodon? 🤔

@randahl @leavex @magichopi Interesting that Hungary has the lowest fraction of MEPs on X 🤔

@jknodlseder Orbán probably prefers VK.
(Russian social media platform)

@leavex @magichopi

@randahl @leavex

Are you prepared for many X'ers to come to here? That includes those that challenge narratives that are popular on this platform. I've been looking around a bit, it is a bit of a left wing echo chamber here.

@randahl @leavex is it not way better to keep your account on X open, with pinned tweets linking to Mastodon and BlueSky etc?

That way, your account can help to direct people off X and serve as an advert/signpost towards better social media.
