Our movement was born online and it grew thanks to the reach that Twitter afforded us.

But the Twitter we knew is largely gone. Today's dangerous cesspool of hate and disinformation is bad for progressive organizing, so we've decided to step back from "X." indivisibleteam.medium.com/wer

@indivisibleteam Means a lot to see the org start expanding beyond the corporate realm.

👆 This is an incredibly important move and @indivisibleteam deserves great credit for this! It is one of the first by organizations of this size and I think many will learn from its example and follow. This deserves all the support we in the Fediverse can give to their new accounts here.

@indivisibleteam welcome! I'm glad you all joined, you're doing great work.

I've done a bit of activism through y'all here in Colorado. I'm finding it easier for me to stay engaged in politics in a productive way here than on FKA Twitter where it's easier to just doom spiral or be a cog in the outrage machine.

Organizing and mobilizing via the Fediverse is still unchartered territory in a lot of ways. Looking forward to seeing how y'all use this space to further peace and justice. ❤️

Hope you'll continue to step up your presence here.

"Indivisible as a movement was born online. In 2016, our founders wrote a Google Doc on how to resist Trump’s fascist agenda and posted it on Twitter. There, it was shared by prominent progressive activists, enabling it to reach millions of people. Indivisible groups began popping up organically all over the country, and were able to grow and mobilize thanks in no small part to the reach that Twitter afforded them.

The Twitter we knew — which, despite its many problems over the years, allowed us to build this community and fight for a better world — is now largely gone. The platform has become a megaphone for a bigoted and conspiratorial billionaire, propped up by a subscription scheme that amplifies the voices of transphobes and white nationalists who agree with him and muzzles his critics.

Since purchasing Twitter/X, Musk has uplifted accounts that target LGBTQ+ people for harassment, spread transphobia and antisemitism, re-verified violent white supremacists, and dabbled with dangerous ‘Great Replacement’ rhetoric.

Musk’s outburst scapegoating Jews for the decline of X in September was an inflection point, accelerating internal discussions about our continued participation in a platform that not only allows such hate speech, but rewards it, amplifies it, issues it from its C-suite.

We didn’t like the message it sent — to the communities targeted by Musk and his minions or to the bigots celebrating his mainstreaming of hate — to continue on as normal. X is no longer a normal platform."

The very best thing you can do next is to verify your account with your website.

@indivisibleteam I'd love to see this from more high profile progressive and liberal organizations as well as journalists...I'm looking specifically at the Crooked Media folx. What on earth are they doing over there?

@indivisibleteam

This commitment to greatly reduced activity on X is really great to hear!

One suggestion -- among the emerging platforms you identify, the fediverse is unique in enabling organizations to achieve a measure of true sovereignty. You could set up your own server here, and make it easy for partners or sub-groups to get accounts.

I'm not suggesting doing so at the expense of being active on BlueSky or Threads, but it could be an experiment worth undertaking :)

@indivisibleteam

Just as an example for this kind of model, see the German server bewegung.social/ ("movement") set up by @digitalcourage -- it's now home to several civil society organizations like Attac, Lobbycontrol, Abgeordnetenwatch, etc.
