Wowowow.. it's an EU agency... First they need to issue a communication that sets outs a vision for a roadmap to create a framework for an alliance that will create an agenda for the steering committee that will issue a request for a study of merits.
Then they can schedule to do something.
They have a concept of quitting.
They first have to see our god-king's reaction then act appropriately.
yeah they can drop a pinned message on X for leaving and mentioned their next platform. But, I don't think Elon will Happy about that
What’s he gonna do about it?
Sue them?
Why is anyone considering staying on X?
Well I mean it's a disease agency. Missinformation on X is bad. Their job however is about getting the word out to people of what to do to avoid diseases. People don't switch networks to follow their favorite health agencies. So... if the job is to warn people about serious shit... it kind of is important to be where the people are currently and try and get the facts heard among the misinformation.
The whole reason Twitter was popular was to be informed by the people you follow.
No one that is still there gives any sort of fuck about correct information, just bail. Stop legitimizing this Nazi bullhorn for God's sake.
I don't think the people still on X are going to be listening to the EU disease agency account.
They should (as you say) go where the people are... Which is threads and BlueSky. Follow the crowd.
No, they should be where no entity outside of European jurisdiction can influence their messaging.
The EU commission has their own Mastodon instance. That's how all public services should do it.
I wonder how long until Xitter does this sort of thing to the EU Disease Information account:
Community Note:
Covid 19 is not real.
I feel like that level of misinformation is now possible there.
I hadn’t used my twitter account in over a year, but today finally deleted all my posts and disabled the account.
I had it for 16 years and thought it’d feel different, but I’ve been so far away from it now I really had no emotions to shutting it down. It was easy, and now I have no ties to that garbage any more.
At this point Musk might greet all your health-related updates with a 1000x boost of anti-vax nonsense from RFK Jr and an army of anti-vax bots spewing Nazi rhetoric, then you getting sued and your account banned if you suggest something "fishy" is happening
Fuck this absolute steaming pile of a website and the nutjob that smeared his shit all over it. No government agency should even think of using it for anything regarding public communications
I don't know about others but I'm there for the porn
Why did anyone join it in the first place?
It USED to be a decent source for news and updates on stuff but that's long gone. I deleted my account just before that weird billionaire guy bought it and don't regret it one bit.
It’s not like the crazies from over there will believe anything that agency says anyway, so better just gtfo.
They have bluesky account as well https://bsky.app/profile/ecdc-eu.bsky.social, threads https://www.threads.net/@ecdc.eu and mastodon https://mastodon.social/@[email protected] But, the mastodon and threads seems abandoned.
The threads one looks like has posts from 2 days ago so I think it is used.
The Mastodon one says it is an unofficial automated mirror.
Considers? This is not news worthy. This is like showing up to a skin head rally and announcing you are considering friending a black person. Grow a spine and do the right thing.
If your business uses X send a letter to the head of marketing and your ceo asking them to stop or start a petition.
"considers". the human race is very very stupid, and in the end, will be it's own undoing.
