Other MPs who still use X have begun examining alternatives, including Threads, which is owned by Facebook’s parent company, Meta, and the open-source platform Bluesky.
So near, yet so far. They had an enshittification sandwich and instead of swearing off it, they are wondering if they just need less nuts and more sweetcorn.
People still use twitter?
People used twitter?
Good.
Governments should run their own mastadon instances, and provide official accounts for all their public servants, staff, whatever they are called, as well as an account for each agency.But quitting twitter is a good first step
I agree. But this is labour MPs. MP != Government even when members of leading party. Only those with ministerial positions are in government.
As Members of parliament outside ministerial government positions are considered to have free speech and not to be representing the government when speaking, The choice of communication media must be down to the individuals.
Interestingly, the European Union has been doing exactly this for about a year now on an experimental basis.
