We have been deeply concerned about the changes to X for some time now. The way content is moderated through automations and community notes, the reinstatement of hateful accounts previously banned for rule violations, and the removal of key safety features like blocking have all contributed to creating an environment that no longer feels safe.
Misinformation and harmful content have also become widespread, which goes against our values as an organisation.
We believe everyone should be safe to be themselves. The wellbeing of our community is our priority, and we can no longer ensure that on X. That’s why we’ve made the difficult decision to step away from the platform gradually.
To transition away from X while still staying connected with our community, we’ll be slowing down our posting over the next couple of months. This month (February 2025), you’ll see fewer updates, and by April 2025, we’ll no longer be sharing regular content. However, our account will remain live as a resource.
We value your continued support on this platform and would love to stay connected on other platforms. You can find similar content on Bluesky and Threads, and we are also very active on Instagram and Facebook.
You can also sign up to our monthly newsletter to receive regular updates.
