"A nonprofit continuing to post to X is not only unwelcome by the crowd growing there, but they are complicit in what is to come.

That's why 62% of nonprofits active on X have already begun building a presence on new and emerging platforms."

Read about why @saskia doesn't think nonprofits should be sticking to X in her latest blog post.

Again good news, better late than never and I hope the trend will continue: La Vanguardia has stopped posting directly on X, citing the platform’s role in spreading misinformation, hate speech, and bot-driven distortions. The move follows the paper’s concerns over content moderation cuts since Musk’s takeover and aligns with Trump’s proposal to appoint Musk to a new government efficiency role.

"The median age of a Fox News viewer is 68, and liberals have joked about the network 'brainwashing' their conservative parents. But rightwing social media content has effectively targeted and radicalized younger people, who — unlike the typical Hannity-obsessed grandpa — can vote for the next several decades.

We're helping important organisations move away from Big Tech platforms and towards open New Social platforms - like Mastodon!

But, we can't do it alone. We'd love to hear which organisations you think should make the move and why, so we can show them that there is a community waiting here for them.

Better yet, if you have a connection to an important organisation, we'd love to be introduced!

Some good news: The Guardian has announced it will stop posting from its official accounts on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), due to concerns that the negatives, including "often disturbing content," now outweigh the benefits. The organization informed readers of this decision, affecting over 80 accounts with around 27 million followers.

Very good article in the British Medical Journal ( BMJ) on how disinformation enabled Donald Trump’s second term and is a crisis for democracies everywhere.

Credit where its due, it's not all fumbled social media policies, burying gambling ad reform, attacking old media's enemies, outlawing opinions and exempting religious whack jobs.

Former Nine corporate lawyer and bible quoting fanatic, Communications Minister Michele Rowland, may have stumbled her way towards a rare win, flagging a 'Digital Duty of Care,' as recommended by an independent review of the Online Safety Act.

Could unleash all sorts of interesting torts such as parents suing US big tech for the suicide of a child or damages to reputations from the selling of incorrect or deliberately false private data. This one might unlock a pandoras box of unpredictable outcomes, some actually good.

»Don Lemon leaves X, the platform he nearly had a video show with« https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/13/don-lemon-leaves-x-the-platform-he-nearly-had-a-video-show-with/?eicker.media #media #socialmedia


I was just thinking something similar to what this article is saying. Social Media is NOT a source of news, it is other people's reactions TO the news.

She has some interesting insights.

Finally (I hear you say) The Guardian has decided that actually X is too toxic a social media space to post on...

What would be great would be if they now geared up their presence here.... but, given their past journalistic comments, it may be that Mastodon is a little too complex for them (even though we all know that's rubbish)... and of course I'm sure lots of people will still pst links to pieces on X in any case so they'll still be there...

The Guardian is leaving X

#technology #tech #socialmedia #x #xitter #twitter #journalism #theguardian #news #newsoutlets


The Guardian will no longer post on its 80 different accounts on Twitter/X (combined following: 27 million).
“X is a toxic media platform and […] its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse.”

Toxic media platform

The Guardian will no longer post on Twitter. It described the platform as promoting disturbing content including "far-right conspiracy theories and racism."

"As socially responsible organisations and individuals we’ve all put a lot of thought into what our values are, and why we do what we do. It’s time to stand up for those same values in social media."

Our co-founder @michael has looked at five reasons charities should be cheerful when leaving X.

Well done to the team at The Guardian for standing up against X.

Their statement: "The US presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse."

We look forward to helping the wave of journalists and publications that will no doubt follow.

Trump triumphant

Hear Tony Pearce’s latest talk on TRUMP TRIUMPHANT

What does it mean for America, Israel and the church?
Is this a ‘divine intervention against the criminal New World Order’ as Archbishop Vigano has said?
Or an open door to another round of deception?

"The #Amsterdam ‘Pogrom’ That Wasn’t: Corporate #Media Fails To Tell the Whole Story"

Lots of cites, postings on #socialmedia from the scene, statements from US government and other nation's officials; "...many social media posts reported the context of the violence that was missing from corporate media reporting..."

»The far-right online takeover, à la française« https://www.cjr.org/the_media_today/the-far-right-online-takeover-a-la-francaise.php?eicker.media #media #socialmedia


bear with me for a second:

a million reasons, but a big reason the #democrats lost is because the center of gravity for #media has moved to #socialmedia

where the #trolls and #disinfo play. enough dum dums bought the lies

the democrats didn't play that game. because what game can they play in that shit?

it's literally owned by #plutocrats and #fascists

so... how do we fight?

we need our own

and what do we have

#mastodon and the #fediverse

we need to grow like a fucking weed

am i wrong?
disinfo


A news bulletin from ITN (now ITV) is circulating on #socialmedia detailing the Israeli army's killing of Palestinian children with “bullets, beatings, and tear gas.”

The report further states that Israeli military leaders claim the Palestine Liberation Organisation is “manipulating” children to gain control over the occupied territory.

Carole Cadwalladr: “Elections are downstream from white men talking on platforms that white men built, juiced by invisible algorithms our broligarch overlords control. This is culture now.”
“These bros know. They don’t fear journalists any more. Journalists will now learn to fear them. Because this is oligarchy now. This is the fusion of state and commercial power in a ruling elite.”

Carole Cadwalladr: “Social media *is* mainstream media now. It’s where the majority of the world gets its news. Though who even cares about news? It’s where the world gets its memes and jokes and consumes its endlessly mutating trends. Forget ‘internet culture’. The internet *is* culture. And this is where this election was fought and won … long before a single person cast a ballot.”
