Elon Musk and X are once again proving why institutions should never rely on corporate-owned, centrally-controlled social media platforms to reach their people.

Today we are calling on institutions around the world to take control of their #DigitalSovereignty, including their social accounts. Governments should communicate directly with their citizens on open platforms, not through the mouthpiece of a corporation.

If you care about digital sovereignty and want to see your government join the #fediverse, contact them to say that #ItsTimeToAbolishX.

Help us make a list of how to get in touch with a representative in your area under this post, and don’t forget to #hashtag so your neighbours can find it 👇🏽 we’ll start:
#EU: commission.europa.eu/about/con
#USA: usa.gov/elected-officials

@Mastodon While it would be nice to have a way to avoid X, the crux is that lots of people are just migrating from one silo to another instead of adopting the Fediverse. And the officials are the regular people too.
