European Universities started …
.. leaving X
#Universities in
#Amsterdam,
#Vienna,
#Berlin,
#Karlsruhe,
#Aachen and other cities in Europe have left microblogging service X during the last week(s).
They justify this step with the systematic lack of moderation on the platform, which has resulted in a flood of hate speech, disinformation and cyberbullying.
Some of them have already started to run channels on Mastodon:
@univienna,
@tuberlin,
@KIT_Karlsruhe,
@UniOldenburg @unibremen,
@freieuniversitaet,
@UniUlm ,
@HTW_Berlin,
@uni_paderborn.
X is not a suitable medium for communication in
#research and
#education. Help get the other
#universities to follow suit and sign the petition
