Who are making the move?
Numerous organisations and prominent individuals are making the move from toxic and lock-in social media platforms to alternative platforms. Here are some examples of prominent organisations who have made official announcements on this. Many other organisations have simply left a “goodbye” message on X and other lock-in platforms, and joined alternative social media. Other organisations still maintain a presence on X and other lock-in platforms, but are building a presence in alternative social media with the aim of migrating over time.
Here are some trackers compiled by volunteers:
- leavex.eu/politicians lists EU politicians who have left X (maintained by mastodon.social/@leavex)
- x-it.vool.ie lists Irish politicians who have left X (maintained by mastodon.ie/@phelan)
- This Bluesky account tracks accounts leaving X bsky.app/profile/accounts-leaving-x.bsky.social
