Have any companies publicly left X recently? Some did back in 2023, although I'm not sure how many stayed off.

X offering the use of Grok to create and share pictures of undressed women and children is horrendous.

The EU Commission has already:
• taken investigative steps
• ordered the company to retain internal documents.

X now has to fix its AI tool in the EU - and they have to do it quickly.

If not, we will not hesitate to take additional measures under the DSA.

Dear Fedi friends, some good news:

Today I learned from @liaizon that the Parisian art space @palaisdetokyo is on the fediverse.

I was curious about the server it's hosted on, so I checked it out and more good news: there are several cultural institutions on it.

Turns out, it's an initiative by the French Ministry of Culture: a Mastodon server to share "cultural news in a way that is freer, open and independent" (their words)!

THANK YOU @cercle for being here!

OggCamp is an event that's run by volunteers. That includes our wonderful crew. We'd love you to be part of that crew and help us with tasks such as greeting arrivals at check-in, helping to run the merchandise stand, being “runners” to support speaker requirements, getting rooms set up, and loads more.

If you want to help make OggCamp run smoothly and safely for everyone involved, have a read of this and then get in touch with us.

We’re leaving X.

Not for clicks.
Not for politics.
For safety, democracy and basic responsibility.

We won’t stay on a platform that fails children, enables deepfake abuse and fuels disinformation.

But this is not an exit from the conversation.
It’s a move to better spaces.

Come with us.
