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

But: Microblogging is also not a suitable medium for communication in #research and #education.
So why is everyone running to Mastodon?
