Indivisible made a deeply important move last Friday, that they described on their Medium post, which described their stepping back from X:
“We’re stepping back from the increasingly dangerous and dysfunctional ‘X’, and we’re sorry it’s taken this long…. X is no longer a normal platform. And, absent a change of ownership, there’s little hope of it doing anything but becoming a more toxic, dangerous cesspool of hate and disinformation ill-suited for progressive organizing.
We’re in the process of removing its icons from our website and emails. We’ll no longer ask supporters to follow us there, or run advocacy campaigns on the platform.* We’ll phase down original content to a minimum to prevent the X Corp…from seizing our account.
And we’ll be creating migration guides to help Indivisible groups establish stronger presences on alternative platforms.
You can now find Indivisible national accounts on Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon. Each may have its own issues, however, ALL of them are far better, safer, and more viable platforms for the work we need to do now — and in the years ahead.
This is a brave and important step from Indivisible, and one I think many places - including DailyKos - can watch and learn from, to see how this is done and how to navigate and migrate users over to a new, better social home than X.
Everyone can help right now by boosting this announcement post that they did on X.
And if you are on Threads, Mastodon, or BlueSky, follow them on those platforms, welcome and spread the word there, to help them build up their social graph on those new spaces!
