I've just emailed the Members of the Greens–European Free Alliance who aren't on X, asking them to persuade their party colleagues to leave X too.

Next, when I have a little more time, I will write to those who are still on X and whom I helped to elect.

Cc @alexandrageese @gruene_berlin @GrueneBundestag

#LeaveX #EU #Grüne #GreenParty

First of all, I would like to congratulate you for not using X, or for having decided to leave it. As a Green Party voter in Germany, I truly appreciate this stance.

However, I am concerned that around 67% of your political group, including representatives whom I helped elect, are still active on X despite its well-documented role in amplifying disinformation and undermining democratic debate.

For this reason, I have created the Leave X - Peer Persuasion Award, an initiative that highlights and encourages peer-to-peer leadership within political groups: https://leavex.eu/posts/leave-x-peer-persuasion-award/

As colleagues who have already taken this step, I would like to encourage you to actively persuade your ten fellow Greens/EFA MEPs representing Germany to leave X as well. The reasoning behind my call has been publicly stated for over a year in an open letter addressed to European politicians and leaders.

More recently, inspired by Alexandra Geese's important and courageous work in countering online disinformation, I published concrete suggestions for European alternatives to X.

Finally, it is worth noting that the Greens already have their own Mastodon instance.

This provides a strong, values-aligned space in which to engage in political debate without reinforcing harmful platforms.

I sincerely hope to see your continued leadership, not only by example, but also by actively helping to build a healthier digital public sphere for political discourse in Europe.
