We registered there more than 16 years ago and there is no doubt that this platform has played a big role in spreading our actions to the general public.

We have nevertheless always remained critical of the model of this social media with its well-known and documented impacts on society, notably those described in the attached column published by @RAPasso of which we are signatories.

We have thus worked very early to explore, promote and propose to the public alternatives to proprietary social media, with our Mastodon instance named Framapiaf.

Today, as the main actors of surveillance capitalism show their new face, it is more necessary than ever to continue to put our efforts into the possibility of a free, open and decentralized internet.

For us, this involves the areas of work that we have defined for several years: proposing and promoting liberating tools, to equip groups that seek to align their uses and values.

We therefore believe that the functioning of the Twitter/X platform no longer allows us to communicate about our actions in accordance with our own values, and we therefore join the call of the @HelloQuitteX collective to leave it, by suspending our activity there.

Where to find us next?

On other social media: notably Mastodon (hello!) and Bluesky for micro-blogging, but the full list and links are available on https://ls.framasoft.org
