    Well I mean it’s a disease agency. Missinformation on X is bad. Their job however is about getting the word out to people of what to do to avoid diseases. People don’t switch networks to follow their favorite health agencies. So… if the job is to warn people about serious shit… it kind of is important to be where the people are currently and try and get the facts heard among the misinformation.

      I don’t think the people still on X are going to be listening to the EU disease agency account.

      They should (as you say) go where the people are… Which is threads and BlueSky. Follow the crowd.

    I hadn’t used my twitter account in over a year, but today finally deleted all my posts and disabling the account.

    I had it for 16 years and thought it’d feel different, but I’ve been so far away from it now I really had no emotions to shutting it down. It was easy, and now I have no ties to that garbage any more.

    At this point Musk might greet all your health-related updates with a 1000x boost of anti-vax nonsense from RFK Jr and an army of anti-vax bots spewing Nazi rhetoric, then you getting sued and your account banned if you suggest something “fishy” is happening

    Fuck this absolute steaming pile of a website and the nutjob that smeared his shit all over it. No government agency should even this of using it for anything regarding public communications

      It USED to be a decent source for news and updates on stuff but that’s long gone. I deleted my account just before that weird billionaire guy bought it and don’t regret it one bit.

  They have bluesky account as well bsky.app/profile/ecdc-eu.bsky.social and mastodon mastodon.social/@ECDC_EU@respublicae.eu But, the mastodon seems abandoned.

    The threads one looks like has posts from 2 days ago so I think it is used.

    The Mastodon one says it is an unofficial automated mirror.

  Considers? This is not news worthy. This is like showing up to a skin head rally and announcing you are considering friending a black person. Grow a spine and do the right thing.

  If your business uses X send a letter to the head of marketing and your ceo asking them to stop or start a petition.
