3 years ago, when I recommended a massive organised switch away from X/Twitter, the EU Commission’s argument was “but our audience is there.”
Since then, that argument has become less valid by the day.

I don't see what's stopping the European Commission from saying something along the lines of: "We will no longer post on X and we don't think citizens of EU nations should post there either."
So what's the outcome?
2️⃣5️⃣ of the 27 Commissioners have posted in the last week
2️⃣4️⃣ of the 27 generally post every week (Albuquerque has never been on X, Ribera is sporadic, McGrath has somehow stopped)
0️⃣ have stopped as a result of what Twitter has become since the Musk takeover

Hey, people in the USA!
If you can't trust the election results
after the votes have been counted,
can you still call this a democracy?
Oligarchs shouldn't be allowed
to decide who wins an election.
"A republic
if you can keep it."

This isn’t “fake news.” It’s an observable decline in real time, amplified by the presidency’s spotlight. In the last week, Trump’s physical and mental decline is undeniable. This isn’t Biden-era scrutiny; it’s happening right in front of us!
