The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) permanently deleted its account on X (formerly Twitter) on December 4, 2025, citing the platform’s increasing hostility and misalignment with their values^[1].

The FSFE explained that while they initially used Twitter to promote free software values and connect with policymakers and journalists, the platform had become “a centralised arena of hostility, misinformation, and profit-driven control”^[1:1]. They specifically criticized X’s algorithm for prioritizing “hatred, polarisation, and sensationalism”^[1:2].

While leaving X, the FSFE continues to maintain some presence on other proprietary platforms to reach wider audiences, but strongly encourages supporters to follow them on decentralized alternatives in the Fediverse, specifically their Mastodon and Peertube accounts^[1:3].
