Makes sense. Much less scrutiny for the government.
They definitely should, it’s a toxic environment run by a madman
Surely that’s not the exact wording. Because saying it’s ‘possible’ that the UK government ‘should’ leave X means nothing.
Good. Its owner is actively fomenting the overthrow of the democratically-elected UK government through a widespread and well-funded misinformation campaign.
So what are they waiting for?
Does it matter? Maybe I’m in different circles but no one I know uses Twitter/X anymore, and it went down the nick _long_ before Musk took over.
A shame, as clearing out my Gmail account I found loads of emails from around 2014-2016 as for some reason I’d turned on email notifications for Twitter replies. Some great conversations with people in the dance music industry, some of which led to big breaks that got me my career. It was a genuinely great place to speak to people you might otherwise not get chance to, and in a way that isn’t really possible on other social media platforms.
Good, they shouldn’t still be on it now. And honestly, even in its heyday Twitter was a poor comms platform for serious things. It made journalists lazy.
Why are they on a teenage toy anyway? I had to look up what X meant.
Never realised they were on Twitter. Never went there for politics for obvious reasons.
They should never have been on there in the first place.
No doubt it will take Elon literally calling for violence with no ambiguity for them to realise it’s a shitty look to continue embracing it just fling crappy soundbites nobody listens to anyway.
More control by labour. Take away one social media, then another all the while the BBC is just bias anyway. Then bring in digital IDs that link to more and more of your life like banks etc
Hmm, support nazis or don’t support nazis? I don’t know, hard choice.
Doubt there’s any benefit to it when, for any post on there, you have to scroll through hundreds of “verified” bots until you actually see an actual person’s reply.
And even then, the tinfoil hat brigade is pushed to the top.
You can’t fight censorship on X by removing yourself from X. That’s giving them what they want
“We should leave X”.
“Now join Brit Tweet, where you can see the absolute truth from the British government, owned and operated by a totally trustworthy arms length company that is by chance ran by our children and spouses but is completely independent indeedely doodely”.
I used to run TweetYourMP.com and shut it down after the Elon takeover. What used to be people lobbying their MPs and asking them to support various campaigns was just drowned out by abuse and ranting. The lack of moderation and accountability, and ironically proliferation of bots has made the whole platform useless. Plus when they removed the API a lot of the fun things you could do with twitter disappeared overnight.
Mayor and some other politicians don’t even allow people to comment on posts so not like there be any difference
They have a friendly relationship with the ukpolitics sub now, they could just focus on that…
They should join Reddit instead. There’s a WelshGovNews account
When the owner of X appeared at a Tommy Ten Names rally calling for the government to be violently overthrown, then yes, the UK government should leave the platform and stop legitimising it.
I think this is trickier than people expect. Twitter is undeniably a cesspit. But it is also undeniably used by a lot of people.
Coming off, it means losing a means of communicating towards a significant portion of the population.
Nobody will leave X because the government isn’t there.
So all you do is give space to your opponents to preach unopposed.
Retreating because you feel you’re losing the argument is counterproductive and frankly cowardly.
I’m losing so I refuse to play only has one outcome. If your view is correct you shouldn’t be afraid of saying it loudly everywhere
Regardless of if you’re in the government or not, everyone should leave social media and put your phones away. Leave those telegram groups you’re getting your “news” from, stop checking in on your local towns’ Facebook groups, etc. Go out for a walk. Ring your mum or dad.
Nothing to do with kier getting noted in one of his previous tweets then
Look at it this way, if Twitter was exactly the same as it is now (toxic as fuck, run by a far right agitator) would they set up official government accounts?
There’s really no reason the UK government or any elected official should be using private social media for any communication in it’s official capacity.
Bluesky is great – for now. I’d welcome the UK government but I don’t want Bluesky to become *too* popular and attract the nutjobs who currently live on twitter.
My MP is active on Bluesky.
