FIDE<p>🚫 We are leaving X.</p><p>It has been a long due decision. Over a year ago, as X’s degradation became clear, we opened this Mastodon account to transition our followers gradually. Despite our consistent posting, building an active, engaged community on Mastodon has proven challenging, and we continue to work towards a vibrant space for public dialogue.</p><p>X has become a hub for rising hate speech, misinformation, and toxic behavior, eroding its capacity to support constructive discourse and democratic values. These developments strike at the heart of what FIDE stands for, and we can no longer endorse a platform that disregards the principles of respectful, inclusive dialogue.</p><p>With this announcement, we call on others to support online spaces that uphold democratic values—platforms where respect, truth, and inclusivity prevail. Let’s build communities that prioritize the integrity of information and open, diverse engagement.</p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/DigitalDemocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalDemocracy</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/DemocraticInnovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocraticInnovation</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/DeliberativeDemocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeliberativeDemocracy</span></a></p>
