Also, don’t leave your account unused, delete it. User and follower numbers count.

And least as important, reply (if necessary to another corporate mail address) every email with Twitter/X in the footer, with a kind request to stop promoting and facilitating X.

Who? A lot of people apparently. And basically all companies. And more or less all government institutions in all countries in the world.

Since few weeks I’m replying to all mails with X in the footer (newsletters as well as email signature of corporate mails) to tell them it would be great if they stop promoting this crappy outlet. Concise, polite and motivated.

From roughly half of them I didn’t get a reply yet. From the other half, a MAJORITY reacts positive. We all should know, the MAIN reason most organizations are still there, is because someone decided so in 2010 (!). They never thought about it afterward, because their audience / customer ‘never asks for that’.

Be. That. Customer / Reader. Who. DOES. Ask. For. That.

That's a very good idea. I'll also ask them to get off Facebook as well.

[-] Europellinore@europe.pub 10 points 3 weeks ago

I wouldn’t. Not because I don’t think it’s a good idea, but I want to let them see that specifically X became a disgusting fascist deepfake childporn abyss. Adding fb as well, increases the risk they don’t quit any of them, because it might give them the illusion my message says more about me ‘being anti social media’ rather than about X in particular.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I see your point. I'm not certain that I agree with you, but I understand what you're saying.

[-] PostaL@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

You're basically asking them to give up on a promotion avenue and hence a revenue source in favor of morals. Corporations will never do this unless leaving X somehow financially outweighs staying there.

[-] athatet@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

Right so we all start asking. All the time. Loudly.

[-] Europellinore@europe.pub 1 points 3 weeks ago

Financially, or when their customers require so, or when damaging to their image. At least the latter two are quite influenceable.

If nobody was doing it, it would be a strange thing to pay money to put in an advertising space.

[-] PixelatedSaturn@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

It is a strange thing to put money into it, considering not even csam is enough to make at least eu institutions to go away from x.

Seems like musk can do anything he wants. What's worse than this?

[-] J92@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I'd argue putting it into people's field of view could sway an individual, and if one person can be moved, more could follow.

That side already proved that boycotting works, in their disgust of a trans-indivual advertising beer, and certain groups being mortally offended that folk could suggest BDS actions towards Israel.

A lot of these institutions are slow but done are moving. UK greens for example
